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 Encre Noire

  • It brings what the other lacks — vetiver, pine, guaiac wood.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — pine, guaiac wood are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Tam Dao

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Facets Encre Noire does not have: sandalwood, cardamom, cedar.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Tam Dao — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most original

    Encre Noire — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (pine, guaiac wood)
