Creed Cuir de Russie, one of the oldest Creed fragrances, belongs to the Creed Private Collection, which consists of perfumes originally created for famous clients. The Private Collection scents, when available, are offered in large 250 ml tinted glass flacons with ground glass stoppers, covered in natural hide and sealed with gold thread.
It was originally created in 1854 for King Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie, who appreciated masculine fragrances. Cuir de Russie is a captivating blend featuring the essence of a Birch tree found only in Russia by the Black Sea.
The notes of Cuir de Russie consist of sandalwood, leather, silver birch, styrax, bergamot, ambergris, lemon and neroli. Cuir de Russie was launched in 1953. The nose behind this fragrance is James Henry Creed Fifth Generation.
Apparently created for Errol Flynn?
Does anybody know where I can get his current discontinued fragance other than the person selling on E Bay at ridiculous greedy prices
The simplicity on Cuir de Russie is appealing for me. A vintage, straightfoward leather scent. The citrus notes seems to fade very fast on me, and I`m left with a soft vintage leather scent. It`s not so smoky on me as some mentioned reviews on other sites. At first, i get more of a leather aroma with a suede texture, and the smell makes me think of that great aroma you get when you buy good quality leather shoes. Something on it smells like wax or some product that you use to preserve your shoes, and on Cuir de Russie it gives a nice subtle salty aspect. Different from some vintage leathers, that seems strong and sometimes a little bit agressive, Cuir de Russie sounds relaxed, never getting too strong, but never fading completely. I usually don`t like the simplicity of some Creed scents, but as a leather fan i cannot resist to it.
