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 Portrait of a Lady
- Its pyramid opens on rose, sandalwood, raspberry, nowhere to be found opposite.
- No offer listed for the moment.
Why choose Black Orchid
- jasmine, mandarin, ylang-ylang: all materials absent from Portrait of a Lady.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (cocoa, ylang-ylang): the less conventional of the two.
The verdict
-
Most original
Black Orchid — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (cocoa, ylang-ylang)
Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
