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 Colonia

  • lemon, lavender, rosemary: all materials absent from Wūlóng Chá.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus and aromatic in the lead.
  • 110 years of existence (1916): it has proved itself for longer.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Wūlóng Chá

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de cologne: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on tobacco, tea, incense, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • More recent creation (2019, against 1916).

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Wūlóng Chá — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de cologne

  • Freshest

    Colonia — signature carried by citrus and aromatic

  • Most versatile

    Wūlóng Chá — 7 situations out of 8 suit it, against 5 for the other
