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 Silver Mountain Water

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • mandarin, blackcurrant: all materials absent from Escale à Pondichéry.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus and green in the lead.
  • More track record: launched in 1995, it has been worn for 31 years.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Escale à Pondichéry

  • Its pyramid opens on lemon, cardamom, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • More recent creation (2011, against 1995).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

The verdict

    Silver Mountain Water — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Freshest

    Silver Mountain Water — signature carried by citrus and green

  • Most versatile

    Escale à Pondichéry — at ease in 7 contexts out of 8, against 5
