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 Beau de Jour
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- It brings what the other lacks — oakmoss, lavender, sage.
- Markedly fresher, carried by aromatic and green.
- Released in 2019, when the other dates from 1981.
- The investment is heavier: €136.28 minimum.
- “night” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
Why choose Kouros
- The entry price is lower: €70.72 against €136.28.
- Facets Beau de Jour does not have: bergamot, orange blossom, leather.
- Warmth wins out, with leather in support.
- More track record: launched in 1981, it has been worn for 45 years.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
