Which Should You Buy?
Salome is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it animalic chypre that demands attention. It's a modern classic for those brave enough to wear something truly carnal and vintage-inspired.
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.

Occasions
Given its strong sillage and potent animalic character, Salome is far too provocative for an office setting or casual wear. It truly shines for date nights and formal events, where its intense, sensual allure can be appreciated.

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