Russe Leather opens with a brisk and herbaceous burst of Siberian pine, mint, basil, cedar needle, clary sage, and coriander, evoking a cooling green breeze. In the heart, lavender, rosemary, nutmeg, guaiac wood, basil, and patchouli blend into a rich herbal aromatic accord. The base layers in soft yet pronounced tones of leather, tonka bean, cypress, and patchouli, adding creamy warmth and earthy complexity. While the aroma is refined and evocative of a frosty forest lodge, the leather note itself remains restrained. Performance tends to be modest—longevity generally runs 3–4 hours on skin, with light projection throughout. It's best experienced in cooler seasons or when you want a crisp, aromatic leather scent with subtle elegance.
