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
- Budget in its favour — €55.95 against €71.45.
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Facets Calandre does not have: peony, lily, violet leaf.
- It is 26 years younger (1995 against 1969).
Why choose Calandre
- It brings what the other lacks — aldehydes, oakmoss, rose.
- Freshness dominates, with citrus in the lead.
- More track record: launched in 1969, it has been worn for 57 years.
- The investment is heavier: €71.45 minimum.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
