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 Cuir Mauresque

  • It brings what the other lacks — spices, white musk, myrrh.
  • Released in 2003, when the other dates from 1977.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (spices, styrax): the less conventional of the two.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • “everyday” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Opium

  • Facets Cuir Mauresque does not have: cinnamon, vanilla, mandarin.
  • Launched in 1977, it has 49 years of life behind it.

The verdict

  • Most original

    Cuir Mauresque — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (spices, styrax)
