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 Bottega Veneta Pour Homme

  • Facets Bel Ami does not have: clary sage, pine, chili pepper.
  • Released in 2013, when the other dates from 1986.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (chili pepper, pine): the less conventional of the two.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Bel Ami

  • It brings what the other lacks — lemon, sandalwood, carnation.
  • Warmth wins out, with leather in support.
  • 40 years of existence (1986): it has proved itself for longer.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Bel Ami — signature carried by leather

  • Most original

    Bottega Veneta Pour Homme — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (chili pepper, pine)
