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 Carlisle

  • Budget in its favour — €310.00 against €525.00.
  • Facets Bergdorf does not have: amber, geranium, nutmeg.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by warm spicy and amber.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.
  • Less at ease in the “spring” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose Bergdorf

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — gardenia, oakmoss, orange blossom.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — styrax, heliotrope are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Expect €525.00 at the very least, more than its rival.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Carlisle — from €310.00 against €525.00

  • Most concentrated

    Bergdorf — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Most enveloping

    Carlisle — signature carried by warm spicy and amber

  • Most versatile

    Bergdorf — 7 situations out of 8 suit it, against 5 for the other

  • Most original

    Bergdorf — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (styrax, heliotrope)

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