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 Chance

  • Its pyramid opens on patchouli, pepper, vetiver, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Released in 2003, when the other dates from 1989.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose Samsara

  • sandalwood, bergamot, ylang-ylang: all materials absent from Chance.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by vanilla and amber.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
  • More track record: launched in 1989, it has been worn for 37 years.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Samsara — signature carried by vanilla and amber

  • Most versatile

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