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 Xi'an

  • Its pyramid opens on rhubarb, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Warmth wins out, with warm spicy in support.
  • The more expensive of the two (from €150.00).
  • “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Chipmunk

  • Budget in its favour — €54.00 against €150.00.
  • quince, chamomile, hazelnut: all materials absent from Xi'an.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 5).
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: animal notes, fir balsam).
