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 Original Santal
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- mandarin, cinnamon, rose: all materials absent from Molecule 04.
- warm spicy and gourmand give it a roundness the other lacks.
- 21 years of existence (2005): it has proved itself for longer.
- Less at ease in the “spring” context according to our calculated profile.
Why choose Molecule 04
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
- It is 12 years younger (2017 against 2005).
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
The verdict

Most concentrated
Original Santal — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette
-
Most enveloping
Original Santal — signature carried by warm spicy and gourmand
-
Most versatile
Molecule 04 — 8 situations out of 8 suit it, against 6 for the other
-
Most original
Original Santal — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (clove, coriander)
