Brocard The Russian Princess is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. The Russian Princess opens with Citrus, Raspberry, Strawberry, and Cranberry, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Violet, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Driftwood, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Brocard's The Russian Princess carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This Russian Princess is a divisive lady - some find her too sweet and a bit much, while others adore her unique, ethereal charm. But one thing's for sure: she sticks around and demands attention.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and impressive longevity, mentioned in reviews, make it less suitable for office wear. The rich fruity, woody, and powdery accords lean towards more intimate or special occasions like dates and formal events, though its unique character could also work casually for those who enjoy making a statement.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine indulging in a lavish fruit compote, heavy on the tart cranberries, raspberries, and strawberries, sweetened to a candied perfection. This juicy opening soon melts into a delicate floral heart where powdery iris and violet flirt with the subtle sophistication of tea and rose. The journey ends on a grounding woody base of cedar, sandalwood, and earthy oakmoss, hinting at ancient forests and driftwood, providing a surprising depth to the initial sweetness.
