Fragrance comparison FAQ

How the comparison works, plus the basics people ask most.

How do I compare two perfumes?

Add two to four fragrances with the search box. Fragranxe lines them up side by side across ratings, community sentiment, accords, longevity, sillage, value, seasons, time of day and the full note pyramid, then names a winner for each category.

How is the scent similarity score calculated?

It combines how closely the main accords overlap (60%) with how many notes the two fragrances share (40%). Above 75% usually means the two smell very alike, which is useful for finding a cheaper alternative or a dupe.

Where do the longevity and sillage scores come from?

They are 0-100 scores built from community performance votes. Ratings combine public fragrance ratings with Fragranxe member votes, and the ranking is the Fragranxe overall rank. Categories with too few votes are shown but not scored.

What is the difference between EDT, EDP and parfum?

They are concentrations. Eau de toilette (EDT) usually holds about 5-15% perfume oil, eau de parfum (EDP) about 15-20% and parfum or extrait about 20-30%. Higher concentrations generally last longer and sit richer, but the same name in EDT and EDP is often a different composition, so compare them directly.

What is the difference between perfume and cologne?

Strictly, eau de cologne is the lightest concentration (about 2-5%). In everyday use "cologne" often just means a fragrance marketed to men, while "perfume" covers everything. Concentration, not the label, decides how long it lasts.
