Description
“Elegant and majestic, Cuir de l’Aigle Russe conjures up the days of the Russian aristocracy’s love affair with rich fragrances so refined they had no equals. Cuir de l’Aigle Russe is a gleaming samovar at the centre of a smoking room hung with gold brocades shimmering with colour. Its heady mixture of blond tobaccos and smoked teas will revive once-distant memories of the Russia of the Tsars” – a note from the brand.

Surprisingly lovely. Old old style by choice.
A dry leather and rich lavande, sitten on amber, tonka, patchouly, rose&geranium, resins and spicies and balsamic and aromatics herbs. Moscow Concert.
The eagle (l’aigle) fly on Jicky, Mouchoir de Monsieur and Hammam Bouquet. That family of dandy lavenders.
Love.

It is indeed a cracking scent. On me it is sort of Shalimar with the leather amped up and no vanilla. Not surprisingly quite resinous with a little warmth from the labdanum and rose. The perfect amount of kick from the lavender and geranium. A touch of pepper. It is very well blended so not easy to identify notes. I would agree with the comparison with Madam Jolie.
I’m not usually one for the leather note but it is reined in a bit with all the resin and floral notes. Perfectly unisex.
I feel kinda sophisticated when I wear this beauty. I take more care with my attire.
Moderate sillage and longevity.

to my nose there is a hint of citrus in the top then a soft leather with lots of amber and a hint of floral; a skin scent that reminds me of Histoires de Parfums

I love this! I love any scent that is full of smokey, musky, ambery rich goodness. I just love Legrand’s whole vintage vibe that encompasses the range. Not only are the bottles beautifully vintage-styled but the fragrances themselves are so convincingly vintage and many dry-down with a lovely powderiness that is so much in the vintage oeuvre. If I could afford it, I’d buy one of each bottle they produce. I would recommend to any vintage frag hound getting a sample set – available on the Bay and 1ml individual vials on Luckyscent – and sniff your way through the range. You will certainly find many, like this one, that will trip your vintage trigger.

Scent – geranium & baby powder musk.
Season/Time of Day – I prefer to use this one in the colder months, during the day.
Projection – I did get noticed, it garners compliments.
Longevity – I get 8hrs consistently.

This actually reminds me of an amped up Jolie Madame by Balmain, I get the same “green leather” feeling. I actually expected to see birch listed as a note. I guess that’s just a trick of the brain.

It’s a powdery citrus lavender fragrance, another fragrance in Cuir de russe category.
