What brings them together, what sets them apart
How they evolve on the skin
Notes shared by both perfumes.
What are they for?
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 Bel Respiro
- green notes, lily, hyacinth: all materials absent from N°19.
- Warmth wins out, with leather in support.
- It is 36 years younger (2007 against 1971).
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — tarragon, hyacinth are among the least common notes in our database.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
Why choose N°19
- Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on vetiver, bergamot, oakmoss, nowhere to be found opposite.
- green pull it towards the bright and the lively.
- More track record: launched in 1971, it has been worn for 55 years.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
