Cuir de Russie

By 1892, the renowned Russian leather, whose origins date back to the sixteenth century, was widely praised for its durability and quality. Legend has it that soldiers treated leather with birch tar to make it waterproof, a practice that gave birth to the leather note in perfumery, characterized by smoky, woody, and leathery aromas. With an elegantly robust profile, Cuir de Russie captures the intensity, complexity, and richly spicy depth of Russian leather in a striking eau de parfum that establishes a new reference point for one of perfumery's most classic scents.

Mandarin and honey open the composition with bright, golden sweetness, setting the stage for the smoky heart. Smoky oud, nutmeg, and cardamom carry the leather's spiced intensity, while leather itself takes center stage with its birch-tar character. Patchouli, sandalwood, and incense settle into the base, grounding the fragrance in a warm, resinous trail. Each bottle of 15ml comes with a handkerchief.
