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 Secret Oud

  • It brings what the other lacks — patchouli.
  • Expect €33.00 at the very least, more than its rival.

Why choose Shaghaf Oud Elixir

  • The entry price is lower: €29.00 against €33.00.
  • Facets Secret Oud does not have: saffron, praline, clary sage.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand and amber in support.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — praline, clary sage are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Shaghaf Oud Elixir — from €29.00 against €33.00

  • Most enveloping

    Shaghaf Oud Elixir — signature carried by gourmand and amber

  • Most original

    Shaghaf Oud Elixir — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (praline, clary sage)
