Cuir de Russie Couture

After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, many Russians emigrated to Western Europe. Tales about the deep interior of heavily forested areas began to spread in France – tales similar to the Slavic beliefs about forests. The influence of these stories extended all the way to the perfume industry. In 1921, Julien-Joseph Godet produced his own version of cedar and sandalwood borrowed from the abstract cloud of a smokehouse. A comforting aroma of vetiver combines with the excitement of benzoin and clove, a hallmark of sensuality and elegance.

Very intoxicating and sophisticated fragrance that opens with spices and a creamy sandalwood to quickly give way to the main protagonist of the scent, a very deep patchouli accompanied by cumin which remains after the opening. The blend is resting over a resinous and woody bed with hints of oud and nagarmota. I don’t know why the name is Cuir de Russie (Russian leather) since there is no leather anywhere but the truth is that, maybe because of the suggestion of the name or perhaps because of the mixture of the notes, but it seems to have a leather-like smell in the background, behind the patchouli/cumin combo. Amazing scent!
