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 Delina Exclusif

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de parfum: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — spikenard, white musk, lily of the valley.
  • It is 93 years younger (2018 against 1925).
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (spikenard, lychee): the less conventional of the two.

Why choose Shalimar

  • Facets Delina Exclusif does not have: lemon, jasmine, iris.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and vanilla.
  • Launched in 1925, it has 101 years of life behind it.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Delina Exclusif — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Most enveloping

    Shalimar — signature carried by amber and vanilla

  • Most original

    Delina Exclusif — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (spikenard, lychee)
