Eau de Cuir de Russie (Russian Leather) : The odour of leather has interested Perfumers for a long time because of its richness, its fullness and its slightly animal quality. Who amongst us has not inhaled, with a certain sensual pleasure, the warm scent of a new leather object? Among the "LEATHER" perfumes that Perfume Creators have imagined and invented, RUSSIAN LEATHER holds a place of choice.

What is RUSSIAN LEATHER? As the story goes, this beautiful and supple leather first appeared in France with Diaghilev's Russian Ballet troupe. The dancers wore supple leather boots (called SAFIAN in Russian). The success of these Ballets also launched a vogue for this special leather which was also used for book-binding.

Of course, Perfumers, curious and eager to enrich their palettes, were soon interested in this new source of creation and the beginning of the 20th century saw the birth of many perfumes called CUIR DE RUSSIE.

Every Perfumer has his personal secret for creating his own CUIR DE RUSSIE and several interpretations were available between 1905 and 1935 without, however, any of them resembling each other. Each creator brought to it a touch of his own personality, adapting the fragrance to his own imagination. Only the LEATHER note remained more-or-less the same in each case. Following his inspiration, he envelopes the LEATHER base note in floral essences to soften its piquancy.

In reviving this forgotten perfume, the Perfume Creator of Le Jardin Retrouvé has created a brand new interpretation of RUSSIAN LEATHER. While it still follows the strict traditions of French perfumery-making, it is distinguishable by its originality stemming from the various flowery and green notes, diffused and long-lasting, exhalting the the richness and warmth of the Jardin Retrouvé's RUSSIAN LEATHER.

The most unusual Cuir de Russie! Very original, floral and soft... I can't find leather in it, but I have the impression of touching very thin and refined leather, or sitting in old library with leather furniture... Something in the air, but not evident.

Very unusual for love at the first sniff, but I must admit I like it more and more sniffing it from my sleeve, by the way it's very long lasting, but in some unusual subtle way.
