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, orange blossom.
- Markedly more enveloping, carried by leather.
- Launched in 1924, it has 102 years of life behind it.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
Why choose Infusion d'Iris
- Facets Cuir de Russie does not have: neroli, mandarin, incense.
- It is 83 years younger (2007 against 1924).
- Notes that are uncommon with us (galbanum, neroli): the less conventional of the two.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
The verdict
-
Most enveloping
Cuir de Russie — signature carried by leather
-
Most original
Infusion d'Iris — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (galbanum, neroli)
