Skunky's take: Sleeps by day, goes out at night; very skunk of it.

What does Cuir de Russie II (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evening, leisure and nights out. Opinion is split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, so it sits between the two. It has been discontinued.
Birch tar and beaver tail oil give the top a smoky, animal leather feel. In the heart, rose, jasmine, violet and lotus add a floral, powdery, creamy softness. Choya Loban, amber and deer musk leave a resinous, sweet and spicy warmth underneath. Caron Tabac Blond and Keiko Mecheri Cuir Fauve have a close profile.
