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.
- leather, orange blossom, vetiver: all materials absent from Rive Gauche.
- Warmth wins out, with leather in support.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
Why choose Rive Gauche
- Its pyramid opens on oakmoss, white musk, peach, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Freshness dominates, with aldehydic in the lead.
- Released in 1971, when the other dates from 1924.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
- “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
