Cuir de Russie (Russian Leather) was the January 2025 Perfume of The Month. Russian Leather is a tanning process that involves a final step of infusing the leather with birch oil, which gives the leather a smoky, rustic characteristic reminiscent of castoreum. This offering is a study in contrast. Light, fresh citrus and delicate florals are combined with deep, resinous base notes, spices, and leather to create an olfactive tapestry that is distinguished and complex. This fragrance is perfectly unisex and is ideal to warm you up on a cold January evening.
