Cuir de Russie 1924 is one of Chanel's oldest fragrances, created in the early days of the house when Coco Chanel was establishing her signature style. It belongs to the storied Les Exclusifs de Chanel collection, which preserves some of the brand's most historically significant scents.

The fragrance opens with citrus and floral brightness, featuring bergamot, lemon, and mandarin with clary sage adding herbal texture. The heart is a lush floral blend of rose, jasmine, and carnation, grounded by woody notes of cedar and vetiver. What makes this fragrance distinctive is its leather and tobacco base, which gives the floral composition a sophisticated, almost smoky edge. Heliotrope and vanilla add warmth without sweetness, while amber and musk provide depth. The overall effect is powdery and complex, balancing delicate florals with animalic leather and tobacco.

This is a fragrance for someone drawn to classical, feminine compositions with unusual depth. It works best in cooler months or evenings when its leather and tobacco character can fully develop. Cuir de Russie suits those who appreciate vintage florals with an unconventional twist. The Hedonist, The Seducer, and The Raconteur.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Clary Sage
Clary Sage
Dry, slightly fruity, and intensely herbal, clary sage has a warm, tea-like quality with faintly floral and nutty facets. It's the more sophisticated sibling of regular sage, used in Eau Sauvage and countless classic masculines for its clean, Mediterranean character. Simultaneously natural and refined.
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin Orange
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Carnation
Carnation
Spicy, clove-like, and slightly powdery, carnation is one of perfumery's oldest floral notes, with a warm, almost peppery character that distinguishes it from softer flowers. It has a vintage, slightly old-fashioned quality that is coming back into fashion. Think pressed flowers in an old book, warm and complex.
Cedar
Cedar
Iris
Iris
One of perfumery's most prized and expensive ingredients, iris has a powdery, cool, almost carrot-like richness that is hard to describe and impossible to mistake. It's simultaneously earthy and refined, like the inside of an old Parisian couture house. Iris root (orris) adds quiet luxury to anything it touches.
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
Ylang-Ylang
Ylang-Ylang
Base · 3–12 hrs
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Birch
Birch
Tarry, smoky, and distinctly medicinal, birch tar (used in classic leather fragrances) has an almost petroleum-like quality that creates unmistakable leather accords. Birch leaf, by contrast, is clean and green. Birch tar is not for the timid: it's the note that makes old-school Russian Leather fragrances smell like what they are.
Heliotrope
Heliotrope
Powdery, sweet, and slightly almond-like, heliotrope is the quintessential 'retro' note of Victorian-era perfumery, now experiencing a fashionable revival. It smells of sugar, vanilla, and just enough floral to keep it interesting. In modern fragrances it tends to read as nostalgic, soft, and unapologetically pretty.
Leather
Leather
One of perfumery's most complex accords, smoky, animalic, and slightly woody, evoking tanned hide, polished saddles, or fine gloves depending on the recipe. Leather adds sophistication and edge simultaneously, and is deeply associated with masculinity in Western perfumery (though the best leather fragrances transcend gender entirely).
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Tobacco
Tobacco
Rich, sweet, slightly smoky and earthy, tobacco in perfumery is the idealized version: dried, cured, and faintly honeyed rather than ashy and stale. It adds a deep, contemplative warmth to oriental and woody fragrances. Tobacco fragrances feel settled and confident, the scent of someone who's entirely comfortable in their own skin.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
