The review
On paper, Cuìr de Russie is a reasonable bet if you want Russian Leather for less.
The Dua Brand 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.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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
The original opens on birch, juniper and cade, turns to leather, oud and tobacco, and settles into cedarwood, musk and amber. That is the brief Cuìr de Russie is working from.
Top
- birch
- juniper
- cade
Heart
- leather
- oud
- tobacco
Base
- cedarwood
- musk
- amber
Birch tar and cade over dense hide, the smell of a bookbinder's workshop in winter.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
