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

  • Facets Iris Poudre does not have: leather, orange blossom, vetiver.
  • Warmth wins out, with leather in support.

  • More track record: launched in 1924, it has been worn for 102 years.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Iris Poudre

  • It brings what the other lacks — vanilla, white musk, sandalwood.
  • Released in 2000, when the other dates from 1924.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
