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 Baie 19

  • green pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • More recent creation (2021, against 2003).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — narcissus, green notes are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Tam Dao

  • Facets Baie 19 does not have: sandalwood, cardamom, cedar.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • More track record: launched in 2003, it has been worn for 23 years.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
