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
- It brings what the other lacks — aldehydes, leather, vetiver.
- leather give it a roundness the other lacks.
- Launched in 1924, it has 102 years of life behind it.

Why choose Iris 39
- Facets Cuir de Russie does not have: white musk, patchouli, woody notes.
- Released in 2006, when the other dates from 1924.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — green notes, gardenia are among the least common notes in our database.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
