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
- Facets Explorer Platinum does not have: lemon, sandalwood, carnation.
- Warmth wins out, with leather in support.
- Launched in 1986, it has 40 years of life behind it.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — carnation, oakmoss are among the least common notes in our database.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose Explorer Platinum
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- It brings what the other lacks — lavender, vetiver, amber.
- More recent creation (2022, against 1986).
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Explorer Platinum — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette
-
Most enveloping
Bel Ami — signature carried by leather
-
Most original
Bel Ami — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (carnation, oakmoss)
