Which Should You Buy?
Chanel's Cuir de Russie EDP is a classy, delicate floral leather, though some mourn the lost potency and 'skank' of its predecessor. It's a scent of quiet luxury, but don't expect it to shout; performance is a common complaint amongst those who loved the EDT original.
This one's a mixed bag. Some find it an elegant, creamy tuberose with a suede twist, while others get a harsh, synthetic leathery dry down. Definitely sample before you commit.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its refined, moderate sillage makes it suitable for office wear, but it truly shines in formal or sophisticated date settings. The luxurious, understated character, coupled with reports of inconsistent longevity, makes it less suited for casual or sporty activities.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and good longevity make it suitable for a range of settings. The creamy floral and leather facets lean it towards evenings out and dates, but its reported lightness by some also makes it acceptable for more casual and even office wear, provided it doesn't lean too much into the "gasoline" accord for your colleagues.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Leather, White Floral, Yellow Floral accords and Ylang-Ylang, Bergamot notes
