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 Samsara
- sandalwood, ylang-ylang: all materials absent from Shalimar.
- More recent creation (1989, against 1925).
- No offer listed for the moment.
Why choose Shalimar
- Its pyramid opens on rose, incense, mandarin, nowhere to be found opposite.
- amber and vanilla give it a roundness the other lacks.
- 101 years of existence (1925): it has proved itself for longer.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “office” ground.
