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 Danaë

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • patchouli, guaiac wood, sandalwood: all materials absent from Escale à Portofino.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by warm spicy.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 5).

Why choose Escale à Portofino

  • Its pyramid opens on cypress, galbanum, caraway, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: caraway, galbanum).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

  • Most versatile

    Danaë — at ease in 8 contexts out of 8, against 5
