Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Russe Leather lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Russian Leather.
Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Russian Leather's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 per 100ml it costs 90% less than Russian Leather — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: birch, juniper and cade up top, leather, oud and tobacco in the middle, cedarwood, musk and amber underneath — the shape of Memo Paris Russian Leather.
Top
- birch
- juniper
- cade
Heart
- leather
- oud

Base
- cedarwood
- musk

Birch tar and cade over dense hide, the smell of a bookbinder's workshop in winter.
