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 Cologne): higher theoretical longevity.
  • aldehydes, iris, leather: all materials absent from English Oak & Hazelnut.
  • leather give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Launched in 1924, it has 102 years of life behind it.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose English Oak & Hazelnut

  • Its pyramid opens on hazelnut, green notes, oak, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More recent creation (2017, against 1924).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — hazelnut, oak are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Eau de Cologne: 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 cologne

  • Most enveloping

    Cuir de Russie — signature carried by leather

  • Most original

    English Oak & Hazelnut — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (hazelnut, oak)
