Cuir de Russie II Attar
Fragrance notes
Character
Birch tar opens the composition with a dark, smoky leather that feels dense and resinous. Violet leaf adds a cool green edge that cuts through the heavy tar. Moroccan and Bulgarian roses sit beside jasmine to create a lush floral heart. White, blue, and pink lotus notes bring an ozonic, aquatic lift that keeps the flowers from feeling too heavy. Natural musk and amber in the base provide a warm, powdery foundation. Choya loban contributes a deep incense smoke that lingers beneath the leather. The blend feels animalic and rich, leaning into a classic leather style without modern sweetness.
The texture is dry and slightly dusty, like walking through an old library filled with worn leather bindings and dried flower petals. Violet dominates the air around the roses, giving the scent a soft, cosmetic powder that contrasts with the tar. It suits someone who enjoys traditional leather paired with heavy florals and incense. The aquatic lotus notes are subtle, appearing as a fresh breath rather than a dominant wave. This is a dense, atmospheric attar composed by Russian Adam. It smells like a leather armchair placed in a room filled with burning frankincense and scattered rose petals.
