Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir de Russie Eau de Parfum

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 - Hawa Eau de Parfum

Hawa is a divisive beast: some hail it as a stunning, compliment-getting floral, others find it a screechy, headache-inducing mess. It's a bold, long-lasting scent that demands attention.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cuir de Russie Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

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.

Hawa Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Given its 'insane' projection and longevity, Hawa is a powerhouse best suited for evenings and special occasions where you want to make a statement. Its strong presence might be overwhelming for an office setting but is ideal for date nights or formal events.
