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 Terre d'Hermès
- Facets Grey Vetiver does not have: orange, pepper, geranium.
- It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
Why choose Grey Vetiver
- Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- It brings what the other lacks — iris, nutmeg, amberwood.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (amberwood, sage): the less conventional of the two.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Grey Vetiver — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette
-
Most versatile
Terre d'Hermès — at ease in 7 contexts out of 8, against 5
-
Most original
Grey Vetiver — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (amberwood, sage)
