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 Obsession of Oud

  • Budget in its favour — €99.22 against €235.00.
  • Facets La Capitale does not have: ambergris, fig, tobacco.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: cotton candy, wood smoke).

Why choose La Capitale

  • It brings what the other lacks — benzoin, caramel, ginger.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and gourmand.
  • Expect €235.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.
