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 Cuir de Russie
- Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- It brings what the other lacks — aldehydes, orange blossom, jasmine.
- 102 years of existence (1924): it has proved itself for longer.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (aldehydes, iris): the less conventional of the two.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
Why choose Dior Homme
- Facets Cuir de Russie does not have: white musk.
- It is 96 years younger (2020 against 1924).
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Cuir de Russie — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette
-
Most original
Cuir de Russie — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (aldehydes, iris)
