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 1 Million Elixir

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • tobacco, cinnamon, blackcurrant: all materials absent from Polo Red Intense.
  • It is 8 years younger (2023 against 2015).
  • “office” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Polo Red Intense

  • Its pyramid opens on orange, coffee, cedar, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Launched in 2015, it has 11 years of life behind it.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
