About
Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie 1924 by Chanel is a Leather fragrance for women. Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie 1924 was launched in 2007. The nose behind this fragrance is Ernest Beaux. Top notes are Clary Sage, Orange Blossom, Bergamot, Lemon and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Iris, Ylang-Ylang, Carnation, Vetiver, Jasmine, Rose and Cedar; base notes are Leather, Birch, Tobacco, Musk, Amber, Heliotrope and Vanilla. Cuir de Russie, or Russian leather was a theme modern at the end of the 19th century. Many perfume houses were creating perfumes for women who smoked cigarettes. Today exclusive, Chanel\'s Cuir de Russie was created in 1924. The fragrance is provocative and shocking, and that exactly was its purpose, because it was created for a woman who dared to smoke cigarettes in public. It was a kind of encouragement and approval, because at that time a woman who smoked was a scandalous and inconceivable symbol of emancipation. The composition starts with aldehydes moderated by mild nectar of classical trio – rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang. The ending comes as smoky, animalistic note of dark leather. The main notes are: orange blossom, bergamot, mandarin, sage, iris, jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang, cedarwood, vetiver, styrax, leather, amber and vanilla.
