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 Ami

  • It brings what the other lacks — lemon, sandalwood, carnation.
  • 40 years of existence (1986): it has proved itself for longer.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Irish Leather

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Facets Bel Ami does not have: guaiac wood, violet leaf, juniper.
  • Released in 2013, when the other dates from 1986.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (spearmint, violet leaf): the less conventional of the two.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Irish Leather — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Most original

    Irish Leather — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (spearmint, violet leaf)
