Maison Alhambra
Russe Leather
Russe Leather may appeal for Russian Leather's cool pine and aromatic herbs. Mint brightens the opening before lavender, rosemary and nutmeg develop. Guaiac wood and patchouli shape the listed finish; the sources are less clear about whether leather remains as prominent as it does in the original.
