What does Cuir de Russie smell like?

Green notes bring a cool freshness at first, floral notes soften it, and leathery notes lay down a dry, leathery base. The spicy and woody accords stay in the background, while a powdery feel runs through the whole scent.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters lean slightly towards fall and spring, though all four seasons get close support. It is mentioned most for leisure and nights out, and it also suits business and daily wear. Its profile is close to Chanel Bel Respiro (Eau de Parfum) and Avon Forest Lily.
