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 Reflection 45
- It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Its pyramid opens on sandalwood, white musk, pepper, nowhere to be found opposite.
- It is 97 years younger (2021 against 1924).
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
Why choose Cuir de Russie
- aldehydes, leather, orange blossom: all materials absent from Reflection 45.
- leather give it a roundness the other lacks.
- 102 years of existence (1924): it has proved itself for longer.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Reflection 45 — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum
-
Most enveloping
Cuir de Russie — signature carried by leather
