L.T. Piver Cuir de Russie – Eau de Cologne Spray

Cuir de Russie dates from 1892. Russian leather was then famous for its strength: it was treated with birch tar to make it waterproof, and that smoky smell gave birth to the leather note in perfumery. L.T. Piver turned it into an eau de Cologne with leathery, amber and woody accents.
