Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir de Russie

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.

Our Verdict - Cuir Cannage

This is simply one of the best leather fragrances out there, a rich, complex scent that's been tragically discontinued. Owners love it, and if you can snag a bottle, prepare for an absolute masterpiece that'll turn heads and leave a lasting impression.

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office

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.

Given its strong sillage and remarkable longevity, Cuir Cannage is best reserved for occasions where it can truly shine without overwhelming. It's a bit too 'beastly' for the office but absolutely perfect for formal events and dates, with many reviewers praising its sexy, grown-up vibe.
