    I had the wonderful opportunity of trying vintage Cuir de Russie parfum from the 1950s. It was the most animalic yet softest perfume I have ever smelled. The leather was incredibly realistic,...

    While this is not "my scent", I can certainly appreciate it and what it could be for the right person as it is truly lovely. Something about this makes me think of the Ballets Russes and the smell...

    This is like wearing the sexiest leather outfit without really needing to wear anything at all... Along with Tabac Blond this is my favourite leather of all time. I only wish it was easier to find...

    I opened the package of samples that a wonderful swapper sent me, and I reached for this first. After a few minutes I felt like I left home for a horse ride in a field of flowers, but ended up in a...

    This was such a strange scent on me! Cuir de Russie started off very sharp and then I smelled cigar smoke together with a very pure leather note - not a soft leather though, this was too masculine...

    This for me is a scent to admire from afar. It's very dramatic and intelligent yet sexy in a carnal way but on me we get: Mitsuoko's tendency to smell like rotting leaves+ overflowing ashtray+in my...

    This is a desert island-worthy perfume. One of my absolute favorites - cooly elegant, intelligent, regal with a knowing twinkle in her eye. The world's problems recede away just a bit as a sphere...

    I can't believe it has taken me so long to review Cuir de Russie. It is one of my favorite dramatic scents in parfum form. The leather is sumptuous and rich with florals, mandarin and bergamot in...

    I wore this in the perfume version, and I definitely found much to admire in it. The ingredients were rich, the overall mix featured a nice, soft floral touch, and Cuir de Russie didn't have the...

    I'm nearly 29 and I've been wearing this since I was 20, when my boyfriend brought me some back from Paris at my request. I'd never smelled it before but all the notes were what I loved, and even...

    Review for the parfum: This is unbelievably beautiful, without question my favorite Chanel, and one of my favorites of all time. That's it; I may add more later, but it would really be de trop.

    This review is for the parfum. I was eager to try this, because I love the leather note in the drydown of Chanel 19. But this is much more leathery--yet not in a masculine way. I must quote that...

    I tried to like this, I really did. Unfortunatley this just isn't for me. It's too masculine for my taste. It definitely smells like leather but there is something bitter in there that I just...

    Do not order this online or by phone without first trying it. I almost did as I like leathery, complex fragrances especially Chanel scents, but thought better of it and went to the Chanel boutique...

    If you find Cuir de Russie EdT even remotely interesting, do try it in parfum form. The beautiful floral notes are so short-lived in EdT and I also find the drydown to be a bit musky. Cuir de...
