Vanille Havane Cuir des Abysses

Russian Leather: a legendary tanning process born from centuries of secret craftsmanship, producing leather of unparalleled strength and luxury. After the Russian Revolution, the knowledge of this ancient art was thought lost forever- until the discovery of a shipwrecked cache of perfectly preserved hides from the 18th century helped dedicated artisans reconstruct the old techniques and begin producing this treasured leather yet again. And now, for the first time, those artisans agreed to collaborate with Les Indemodables, who have used groundbreaking ultrasonic technology to extract the true fragrance essence of Russian Leather: woody tones of cork shavings, animalic notes of rawhide, smoky whispers of birch tar. Spicy warmth wrapping around the senses. Multi-faceted, unpredictable, alive, it stands apart from every synthetic leather ever used. To frame such an ingredient required a stage of equal power. That stage was Vanille Havane, a perfume of rich dualities: the gourmand roundness of vanilla, the warmth of Havana tobacco, the spice of rum-soaked fruits.

But to embrace Russian Leather, the fragrance had to be rebalanced. Master perfumer Antoine Lie took on this challenge. He softened the sweetness, gave space to smoke, woods, and animalic facets. The result: a new identity where velvet and rawhide coexist. Not simply a perfume, but a tension: a duality where velvet and rawhide coexist in a singular, powerful harmony.
