E 4 vs Numero Uno

Shared character

Both fragrances contain bergamot, patchouli, myrrh, cistus and white musk, giving them a common foundation of bright citrus, earthy resin, and soft musk.

How they differ

E 4 and Numero Uno share five base notes – bergamot, patchouli, myrrh, cistus and white musk – but otherwise diverge. E 4 adds a floral‑gourmand trail of jasmine, rose, freesia, labdanum, vanilla, tonka bean, cinnamon and additional musk, while Numero Uno leans toward aromatic‑green foliage with ylang‑ylang, vetiver, rosemary, lavender, violet, orange, mugwort, eucalyptus, tree moss and litsea cubeba. Numero Uno is the only one to list distinct accords (citrus, woody, green, spicy, fresh); E 4 lists no unique accords. Community scores differ markedly (E 4 9.3 vs. Numero Uno 7.5). No shared fragrance families are reported.

Who each suits

E 4 will likely appeal to wearers who enjoy rich floral‑gourmand compositions with jasmine, rose, vanilla and spice, and who favor a higher‑rated, more universally praised scent. Numero Uno suits those who prefer aromatic‑green and fresh‑citrus profiles, with herbal notes like rosemary and vetiver, bright orange and eucalyptus, and a more outdoorsy, woody character.
