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 - Golestan Extrait

Golestan is a polarising white floral bomb. Some find it a masterpiece of rich, natural florals with Tauer's signature depth; others get grape soda or overpowering, dusty decay. Definitely one to sample first to see if it sings or screams on your skin.

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.
