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

  • oakmoss, sandalwood, lavender: all materials absent from Luna Rossa Ocean.
  • 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 tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Luna Rossa Ocean

  • Its pyramid opens on ambroxan, clary sage, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • aromatic and citrus pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • It is 40 years younger (2021 against 1981).
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict
