The story behind the bottle.
Les Exclusifs de Chanel Cuir de Russie 1924 is a Leather fragrance for women that channels the sophistication and elegance of its French heritage. Launched in 2007, it was crafted by Ernest Beaux, known for his innovative approach to composition. The scent opens with bright citrus notes like bergamot and lemon, which give way to a complex heart of floral essences such as jasmine and rose. The base is dominated by rich leather, birch, tobacco, and musk, creating a warm, smoky ambiance that feels both lasting and luxurious.
Apply this fragrance in light layers; the rich base notes require time to develop fully. It reads best close to the skin, so a few sprays directly on pulse points will allow it to bloom gradually throughout the day.
