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 Sicily

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • mint, woody notes: all materials absent from Calandre.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus in the lead.
  • More recent creation (2016, against 1969).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • “evenings & dates” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Calandre

  • Its pyramid opens on aldehydes, oakmoss, rose, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More track record: launched in 1969, it has been worn for 57 years.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Sicily — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Sicily — signature carried by citrus

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