COMPOSITION

CUIR DE RUSSIE – a fragrance arising from an encounter. A radical, leathery amber extrait de parfum that combines potent smoky birch wood and labdanum with sensual jasmine, faceted by elegant May rose and notes of soft tobacco. An enveloping fragrance with an inimitable signature.

INSPIRATION

In 1920, Grand Duke Dimitri was exiled from Russia to Paris, carrying memories of furs and the snow-covered steppe with him. Charmed by Byzantine splendour, Gabrielle Chanel adorned her creations with folk motifs and golden embroidery. She was also familiar with this world through her friends Igor Stravinsky and Sergei Diaghilev, founder of the Ballets Russes.

ART OF PERFUMING

Every detail elevates the art of perfuming according to CHANEL.
Using the stopper, apply a touch of CUIR DE RUSSIE Extrait de Parfum on the pulse points: behind the earlobes, on the décolletage and on the inner wrists. The extrait bottle remains true to the original design, with a white label and a faceted stopper. The Les Extraits de CHANEL collection perpetuates the art of baudruchage, a traditional perfumery technique. This unique artisanal savoir-faire is used to seal the bottles and completely preserve the purity of the fragrance.
