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 Paco Rabanne Pour Homme
- The cheaper of the two: from €54.95, against €350.00.
- Its pyramid opens on oakmoss, carnation, rosemary, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
- Launched in 1973, it has 53 years of life behind it.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
Why choose Elysium
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- grapefruit, jasmine, vetiver: all materials absent from Paco Rabanne Pour Homme.
- It is 44 years younger (2017 against 1973).
- The more expensive of the two (from €350.00).
- Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
