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 Neroli Portofino

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Facets The Dreamer does not have: bergamot, neroli, lemon.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by citrus and aromatic.
  • Released in 2011, when the other dates from 1996.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose The Dreamer

  • It brings what the other lacks — iris, broom, cedar.
  • tobacco and amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
  • More track record: launched in 1996, it has been worn for 30 years.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Neroli Portofino — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Neroli Portofino — signature carried by citrus and aromatic

  • Most enveloping

    The Dreamer — signature carried by tobacco and amber

  • Most versatile

    The Dreamer — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6

  • The winter pick

    The Dreamer — this is the season where its accords express themselves best

  • Most original

    The Dreamer — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (broom, tobacco)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
