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 Elysium

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • grapefruit, jasmine, amber: all materials absent from Tommy.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber.
  • More recent creation (2017, against 1995).
  • The investment is heavier: €350.00 minimum.

Why choose Tommy

  • It costs less: from €19.50, while the other starts at €350.00.
  • Its pyramid opens on apple, rose, cranberry, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More track record: launched in 1995, it has been worn for 31 years.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (cactus, cranberry): the less conventional of the two.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Tommy — from €19.50 against €350.00

  • Most concentrated

    Elysium — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Elysium — signature carried by amber

  • Most original

    Tommy — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (cactus, cranberry)

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