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 Y Le Parfum

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on lavender, incense, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Freshness dominates, with aromatic and citrus in the lead.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • “night” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Y Eau de Toilette

  • ambroxan: all materials absent from Y Le Parfum.
  • Warmth wins out, with amber and gourmand in support.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Y Le Parfum — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Y Le Parfum — signature carried by aromatic and citrus

  • Most enveloping

    Y Eau de Toilette — signature carried by amber and gourmand

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