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 afirewithin pure

  • Its pyramid opens on cypress, carrot seed, chamomile, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (carrot seed, chamomile): the less conventional of the two.
  • The more expensive of the two (from €78.00).

Why choose Shaghaf Oud Ahmar

  • Budget in its favour — €29.00 against €78.00.
  • bergamot, tonka bean, amber: all materials absent from afirewithin pure.

The verdict
