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 Molecule 04

  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Santal 33

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — cardamom, amber, white musk.
  • Warmth wins out, with leather and amber in support.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — violet, iris are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Santal 33 — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Santal 33 — signature carried by leather and amber

  • Most versatile

    Molecule 04 — at ease in 8 contexts out of 8, against 6

  • Most original

    Santal 33 — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (violet, iris)
