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 Escale à Pondichéry

  • It brings what the other lacks — lemon, cardamom.
  • More track record: launched in 2011, it has been worn for 15 years.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Wūlóng Chá

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Facets Escale à Pondichéry does not have: vetiver, tobacco, incense.
  • It is 8 years younger (2019 against 2011).

The verdict

  • Most concentrated
