An enduring classic from one of France’s oldest perfume houses, Cuir de Russie is a sophisticated homage to the legendary scent of Russian leather—traditionally tanned with birch bark and prized for its smoky, resinous depth. First conceived as an expression of strength, craftsmanship, and refinement, this fragrance balances freshness and warmth while revealing increasing complexity over time.

The composition opens with bright citrus and aromatic spice before unfolding into a richly layered heart of herbs, woods, and warm spices. The base is unmistakably bold: a deep leather accord softened by honeyed nuances, moss, and musk, creating a fragrance that is both commanding and elegant.
