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 Bergdorf

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on bergamot, rose, patchouli, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • The investment is heavier: €525.00 minimum.

Why choose Crystal Noir

  • Budget in its favour — €39.47 against €525.00.
  • ginger, amber, cardamom: all materials absent from Bergdorf.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by warm spicy and amber.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
  • “office” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Crystal Noir — €39.47 at the low end, while the other starts at €525.00

  • Most concentrated

    Bergdorf — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Crystal Noir — signature carried by warm spicy and amber
