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

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Facets Belle d'Opium does not have: bergamot, rose, pepper.

Why choose Belle d'Opium

  • It brings what the other lacks — mandarin, calendula flower, narcissus.
  • Warmth wins out, with amber and warm spicy in support.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (calendula flower, narcissus): the less conventional of the two.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

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

  • Most enveloping

    Belle d'Opium — signature carried by amber and warm spicy

  • Most original

    Belle d'Opium — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (calendula flower, narcissus)

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