How is it calculated?

These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.

Why choose one… or the other?

Why choose Pardon

  • dark chocolate, saffron, sandalwood: all materials absent from Secret Oud.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand and warm spicy in support.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — dark chocolate, rum are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Secret Oud

  • Its pyramid opens on white musk, vanilla, rose, nowhere to be found opposite.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Pardon — signature carried by gourmand and warm spicy

  • Most original

    Pardon — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (dark chocolate, rum)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
