Our verdict on Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie: Statement

This one's a proper beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it classic that divides opinions. Some reckon it's a masterpiece, others get 'old woman' or 'horse s**t', but everyone agrees it's bold and distinctly Chanel. Don't expect subtlety; this is pure, unadulterated vintage glamour.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong, complex leather and smoky accords, coupled with reports of good longevity and sillage, make it far too imposing for casual wear or the office. This fragrance truly shines in formal settings or on a date where its luxurious and sensual character can be appreciated.

About

Cuir de Russie opens with a bright, fleeting citrus burst of orange blossom and bergamot, quickly giving way to a rich, complex heart of jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang that blends seamlessly with the dominant birch tar leather. smoky and animalic at first, it mellows into a refined, luxurious leather warmed by hints of tobacco and musk, creating a scent that's both elegant and a bit wild. This is a journey from raw animalic depth to a soft, sophisticated embrace.
