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

  • vetiver, iris, bergamot: all materials absent from Aura.
  • 55 years of existence (1971): it has proved itself for longer.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.

Why choose Aura

  • Its pyramid opens on vanilla, orange blossom, rhubarb, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by vanilla.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
  • Released in 2017, when the other dates from 1971.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Aura — signature carried by vanilla

  • Most versatile

    Aura — at ease in 8 contexts out of 8, against 6

  • Most original

    Aura — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (tigerwood, green fig leaf)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
