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 Rochas Man

  • Its pyramid opens on coffee, caramel, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
  • 27 years of existence (1999): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Naxos

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • tobacco, cinnamon: all materials absent from Rochas Man.
  • tobacco and gourmand give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • It is 16 years younger (2015 against 1999).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Naxos — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Naxos — signature carried by tobacco and gourmand

  • Most versatile

    Rochas Man — 8 situations out of 8 suit it, against 6 for the other

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