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 Herod

  • Facets Herod Absolu does not have: tonka bean.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 6 situations out of 8, where the other holds 4.
  • More track record: launched in 2012, it has been worn for 14 years.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Herod Absolu

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It is 11 years younger (2023 against 2012).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “office” ground.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

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

  • Most versatile

    Herod — at ease in 6 contexts out of 8, against 4

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