Cuir de Russie: Created by Aime Guerlain in 1875.
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a spicy leather chypre fragrance for men and women.
From our friend Monsieur Guerlain: "Frédéric Sacone tells us that Jacques Guerlain reused Chypre de Paris to make his Cuir de Russie in 1935. Upon researching the handwritten formula for Cuir de Russie, Frédéric Sacone found out that it lists Chypre de Paris, as well as Mitsouko, among its ingredients."

Recently, I was able to obtain a sample from my good friend Alexandra Star, who has lots of rare antique Guerlain treasures in her etsy shop, Parfums de Paris. If you are interested in experiencing the smokey deliciousness of Guerlain's Cuir de Russie, stroll on over to her shop and take a look around. I will do a proper review on this sample soon.
