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 Water Calligraphy

  • Its pyramid opens on yuzu, cedar, bamboo, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
  • More recent creation (2014, against 1995).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — bamboo, yuzu are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Silver Mountain Water

  • bergamot, mandarin, sandalwood: all materials absent from Water Calligraphy.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus and green in the lead.
  • Launched in 1995, it has 31 years of life behind it.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
