| Specification | BLEU DE CHANEL Eau de Parfum Spray 100ml | La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk Sunscreen SPF 60 |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹14,900 | ₹2,490 |
| Fragrance | This is a fragrance | Fragranced |
| Key actives | Aromatic-woody composition -- citrus opening, incense and ginger heart, sandalwood and cedar base | Avobenzone 3 percent, homosalate 10 percent, octisalate 5 percent, octocrylene 10 percent |
| Period after opening | Approximately 36 months unopened, 24 to 30 after opening | 12 months after opening |
| Volume | 100 ml | 90 ml |
| Mains voltage | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Concentration | Eau de parfum, roughly 15 to 20 percent aromatic compounds | not published |
| Finish | not published | Milky, absorbs without a white cast |
| How SPF scales | not published | Not linearly. SPF 30 blocks about 97 percent of UVB and SPF 60 about 98 percent. Doubling the number buys roughly one percentage point |
| Indian climate note | Heat amplifies projection, so fewer sprays are needed than in a temperate climate | not published |
| Longevity | 6 to 8 hours on skin, longer on fabric | not published |
| Reapplication | not published | Every 2 hours in sun, and after swimming or heavy sweating |
| Sillage | Moderate -- noticeable at arm's length rather than across a room | not published |
| Storage | Heat and light degrade fragrance. A bathroom shelf is the worst place; a drawer is the best | not published |
| UVA | not published | SPF measures UVB only. UVA causes most ageing and tanning and is rated by the PA system, which US-labelled sunscreens do not carry |
| Versus EDT | Eau de toilette is roughly 5 to 15 percent. The EDT and EDP of the same name are different compositions, not the same scent at different strengths | not published |
| Water resistance | not published | 80 minutes, which is a tested claim rather than a marketing one |
| What actually matters | not published | Quantity. SPF is measured at 2 mg per square centimetre, about a quarter teaspoon for a face, and almost nobody applies that much. Applying half gives far less than half the rated protection |
Every row is a figure one or both products record. A blank is a figure the catalogue does not hold, not a zero.
