Modelled profile
A refined, animalic leather laced with iris powder, carnation and a full floral heart. Birch and tobacco add smoke, amber and vanilla round the close, the whole thing plush and grown-up.

The Dry Warmth

Cuir de Russie Extrait carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin.

Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
