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

  • The entry price is lower: €220.00 against €325.00.
  • mandarin, blackcurrant: all materials absent from Wūlóng Chá.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by citrus and green.
  • 31 years of existence (1995): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Wūlóng Chá

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on vetiver, tobacco, incense, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • It is 24 years younger (2019 against 1995).
  • Expect €325.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
