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
- The cheaper of the two: from €220.00, against €245.00.
- Its pyramid opens on mandarin, rose, white musk, nowhere to be found opposite.
- More track record: launched in 2005, it has been worn for 21 years.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.
Why choose Papilefiko
- It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
- tobacco, almond, tonka bean: all materials absent from Original Santal.
- Warmth wins out, with gourmand and warm spicy in support.
- It is 12 years younger (2017 against 2005).
- Expect €245.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “office” ground.
The verdict
