Sizes differ between shops, so the sticker price is not comparable and a millilitre is. The cheapest millilitre on this record is not the bottle the evidence points at, and the page says both.

What the shops themselves say

Dupedex records the inspiration statement a merchant publishes on its own product page. It is the merchant's assertion, not ours, and it is never a measurement of how close anything smells.

Published note words, read from Le Labo’s own page. Colour marks the family a word belongs to — it is never a rating, and nothing on this page says how anything smells.

How this page decides

We count independent reviewers who published a dated review, quote them verbatim with a link to the moment they said it, and never score how anything smells. A conclusion needs at least two independent sources; one source is reported as one source. Reviews that were sponsored or gifted are labelled and are not counted. Evidence set v1.0.0, built Aug 24, 2026 — 61 sources and 130 recorded observations across 10 fragrances. How we verify.

Commissions never change our evidence conclusions, product verdicts, or whether a viable option is shown. Commercial terms may affect which integrations we build first and may break ties between materially equivalent purchase links.
