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 Santos de Cartier

  • It brings what the other lacks — sandalwood, patchouli, geranium.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
  • Launched in 1981, it has 45 years of life behind it.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Legend Spirit

  • Facets Santos de Cartier does not have: grapefruit, cedar, aquatic notes.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by aromatic and citrus.
  • It is 35 years younger (2016 against 1981).
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (aquatic notes, oakmoss): the less conventional of the two.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
