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 Respiro
- green notes, lily, hyacinth: all materials absent from Cuir de Russie.
- More recent creation (2007, against 1924).
- Notes that are uncommon with us (tarragon, hyacinth): the less conventional of the two.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
Why choose Cuir de Russie
- Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on aldehydes, orange blossom, vetiver, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
- More track record: launched in 1924, it has been worn for 102 years.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
