Oriza L. Legrand Cuir de l'Aigle Russe is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1892. Cuir de l'Aigle Russe opens with Davana, Cade, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Patchouli, Geranium, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Tonka Bean, and Incense. Oriza L. Legrand's Cuir de l'Aigle Russe carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Don't be fooled by the name; this isn't your usual leather bomb. It's a divisive trip back in time, a complex, old-school aromatic that some will adore for its nostalgic charm, while others will find it a bit too stuffy and powdery.

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile, but the distinctly vintage and powdery character leans away from modern office environments. It’s well-suited for casual autumn days or intimate evenings where its complex, comforting aura can be appreciated.

About

Opening with a bracing, almost medicinal blast of aromatic lavender and geranium, this scent quickly transitions into a more herbal, spicy heart. Immortelle and patchouli weave in a dusty, slightly dirty warmth before settling into a soft, powdery base of tonka, sandalwood, and subtle incense. Expect a vintage, barbershop-esque feel with a surprisingly gentle drydown, far from any harsh, modern leather.
