Cuir Russie

Cuir Russie (1924) is a rare Chanel leather fragrance that opens with an unusual top-note pyramid: Russian leather, aldehydes, tobacco, ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose, and vanilla all listed together. This means the leather is present from the first spray, wrapped in a sweet, aldehydic haze with floral and tobacco nuances. The absence of listed heart and base notes suggests a linear composition where these elements persist and evolve slowly on skin. Collectors should note the 100% leather accord, supported by aldehydic (90%), sweet (87%), tobacco (84%), yellow floral (81%), and white floral (75%) facets. This is a unisex scent that suits those who appreciate vintage leathers with a powdery, sweet edge—think soft suede rather than harsh birch tar. It is ideal for evening wear or formal occasions, and will appeal to collectors of 1920s Chanel or leather fragrances. Given its age, availability is limited, so acquisition requires patience.
