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 Luxury

  • amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Expect €210.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Parfum): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose French Santal

  • Budget in its favour — €59.90 against €210.00.
  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • vanilla, lily, white musk: all materials absent from Luxury.

The verdict

  • Best price

    French Santal — from €59.90 against €210.00

  • Most concentrated

    French Santal — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Most enveloping

    Luxury — signature carried by amber

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