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
- The cheaper of the two: from €43.45, against €65.94.
- Its pyramid opens on rose, mint, spices, nowhere to be found opposite.
- More track record: launched in 2008, it has been worn for 18 years.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose 1 Million Elixir
- Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- tobacco, cardamom, blackcurrant: all materials absent from 1 Million.
- Warmth wins out, with warm spicy and leather in support.
- More recent creation (2023, against 2008).
- The more expensive of the two (from €65.94).
- “office” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
