HUME developed this fragrance with the goal of approaching the inspiration profile closely. Oil concentration is a formulation specification, not a guarantee of superior longevity, projection or similarity.

What does a factual comparison establish?

The table below distinguishes positioning, concentration statements, intended character and price sources. Eau de Parfum does not establish a verified numerical oil percentage here. Compare actual available sizes and current local pricing before calculating savings.

How should scent and performance be compared?

Use comparable application on separate arms and swap arms another day. Record vanilla sweetness, warm spice and later praline-woody warmth alongside comfort and noticeability. Atomisers differ; no measured percentage match or relative longevity is asserted, and Parfums de Marly wear claims cannot be transferred to HUME.
