Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sublime Eau de Parfum
This is a real marmite scent - you'll either adore its warm, golden embrace or find it a bit too much. Sublime is a truly classic, sophisticated floral that demands attention, but be warned: reformulations divide opinion, so hunt for a vintage bottle if you want the full, unadulterated experience.

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

Sublime Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Sublime's strong sillage and 'old money' feel make it less suitable for the office, where it might be too overpowering. It excels in formal and date settings, conveying elegance and sophistication, as many reviewers indicated it made them feel glamorous and well-dressed.

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.
