Ernest Beaux composed Cuir de Russie for Gabrielle Chanel, who launched it in 1927. Born of her affair with Grand Duke Dimitri and of the Paris of the Ballets Russes, it is sold today as an eau de parfum in Les Exclusifs de Chanel: an ambery, leathery floral made of birch wood, cistus labdanum, jasmine, and ylang-ylang.
