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 Pleasures

  • lily, violet leaf, green notes: all materials absent from China White.
  • More track record: launched in 1995, it has been worn for 31 years.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (lilac, lily): the less conventional of the two.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Parfum): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose China White

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de parfum: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on aldehydes, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Released in 2007, when the other dates from 1995.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    China White — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Most original

    Pleasures — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (lilac, lily)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
