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 N°19

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on vetiver, iris, bergamot, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Released in 1971, when the other dates from 1956.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Diorissimo

  • lily of the valley, sandalwood, jasmine: all materials absent from N°19.
  • Launched in 1956, it has 70 years of life behind it.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — lilac, civet are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    N°19 — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most original

    Diorissimo — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (lilac, civet)
