Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure Poison Eau de Parfum

Pure Poison is a crystalline white floral with a fresh, radiant aura that feels both innocent and quietly seductive. Its jasmine-gardenia heart sparkles atop musk and woods, making it a modern classic for those who want to feel luminous and self-assured.

Our Verdict - Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it classic that divides opinions. Some reckon it's a masterpiece, others get 'old woman' or 'horse s**t', but everyone agrees it's bold and distinctly Chanel. Don't expect subtlety; this is pure, unadulterated vintage glamour.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pure Poison Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Sparkling citrus and radiant white florals make Pure Poison ideal for spring and early fall, with enough warmth from musk and sandalwood to carry it into cooler months. Its freshness and lightness suit mild weather best, while the creamy floral heart avoids becoming cloying in heat.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Elegant, clean projection and a luminous yet non-overpowering trail make this a versatile choice for office, daytime, and especially romantic occasions. Its sophistication and freshness can fit for formal wear, though the sensuality of its musky floral heart shines best for dates.

Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its strong, complex leather and smoky accords, coupled with reports of good longevity and sillage, make it far too imposing for casual wear or the office. This fragrance truly shines in formal settings or on a date where its luxurious and sensual character can be appreciated.
