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 Dior Homme
- It brings what the other lacks — bergamot, vetiver.
- It is 9 years younger (2020 against 2011).
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
Why choose Santal 33
- Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- Facets Dior Homme does not have: cardamom, amber, sandalwood.
- Markedly more enveloping, carried by leather and amber.
- Launched in 2011, it has 15 years of life behind it.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Santal 33 — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette
-
Most enveloping
Santal 33 — signature carried by leather and amber
