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 Madurai

  • It costs less: from €255.00, while the other starts at €353.50.
  • It brings what the other lacks — leather, marigold flower, turmeric.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by leather.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — turmeric, marigold flower are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

Why choose Scandal Pour Femme

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de parfum: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Facets Madurai does not have: lily of the valley, freesia, iris.
  • The investment is heavier: €353.50 minimum.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Madurai — €98.50 difference in its favour

  • Most concentrated

    Scandal Pour Femme — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Most enveloping

    Madurai — signature carried by leather

  • Most original

    Madurai — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (turmeric, marigold flower)
