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 Noir Extreme
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- It brings what the other lacks — amber, neroli, saffron.
- Released in 2015, when the other dates from 1995.
- The investment is heavier: €99.50 minimum.
Why choose Opium pour Homme
- The entry price is lower: €79.90 against €99.50.
- Facets Noir Extreme does not have: star anise, pepper, tolu balsam.
- Launched in 1995, it has 31 years of life behind it.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — galangal, tolu balsam are among the least common notes in our database.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
