Chanel Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie 1924 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2007, created by Ernest Beaux. Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie 1924 opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Cedar, Vetiver, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Birch. Chanel's Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie 1924 carries a Statement verdict, a leather-led wear.

This isn't just a perfume; it's a statement. Chanel's Cuir de Russie is a deeply divisive, yet utterly captivating leather fragrance. Some find it a masterpiece, rich with history and sophistication, while others recoil at its 'dirty' or 'animalic' undertones. It demands attention and isn't for the faint-hearted.

Given its strong, smoky leather and pronounced animalic notes, Cuir de Russie isn't one for the office or casual daytime wear - it's too commanding. Its luxurious and assertive character, coupled with its notable sillage and longevity, makes it far better suited for evening dates or formal events where it can truly shine and intrigue.

About

Cuir de Russie opens with a surprisingly bright citrus burst of bergamot and lemon, quickly giving way to a bold, smoky leather. Hints of birch tar evoke a rugged, almost petrol-like edge, softened by an elegant floral heart of iris, jasmine, and rose. The base settles into a warm, animalic musk with touches of vanilla and tobacco, creating a complex, vintage-inspired aroma that's both refined and a little rebellious.
