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 Empressa

  • Its pyramid opens on plum, patchouli, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Shaghaf Oud Ahmar

  • cedar, tonka bean, amber: all materials absent from Empressa.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Shaghaf Oud Ahmar — signature carried by gourmand

  • Most versatile

    Shaghaf Oud Ahmar — 8 situations out of 8 suit it, against 6 for the other

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