What does Russkaya Кожа smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with summer trailing far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also works for leisure. It doesn't settle clearly as masculine or feminine, since votes split almost evenly between the two.

Sumatran benzoin, Spanish cade juniper wood and Guatemala cardamom form the core. Benzoin brings sweetness and resinous warmth, cade juniper wood adds a dry, leathery, woody edge, and cardamom supplies the spice. There is a synthetic sheen too; overall it reads as a sweet, dry, warm leather.
