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 Baraonda

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Facets Chergui does not have: cognac.
  • It covers more ground: 6 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 4.
  • Released in 2016, when the other dates from 2005.
  • Expect €130.00 at the very least, more than its rival.

Why choose Chergui

  • The cheaper of the two: from €99.85, against €130.00.
  • It brings what the other lacks — rose, hay, iris.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by tobacco and amber.
  • More track record: launched in 2005, it has been worn for 21 years.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Parfum): lower theoretical longevity.
  • “office” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
