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 Akira Melba

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — tonka bean, osmanthus, raspberry.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand in support.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — osmanthus, caramel are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Less at ease in the “office” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose Kirke

  • Facets Akira Melba does not have: jasmine, grapefruit, white musk.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Parfum): lower theoretical longevity.

  • Most enveloping

  • Most original
