Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

First you feel tar, a smoking pipe, and Russian leather - all at the beginning. Then, as if on horseback, you rush across the endless expanses of the Russian steppe, and in the middle, it's already a cozy evening in a manor with irises on the tables and the scent of candle wax. Cuir de Russie truly captivates from the first accords.

The history of this fragrance also leaves no one indifferent. Created by Ernest Beaux at the request of the great Mademoiselle, it recalls romantic moments with Prince Dmitry Pavlovich Romanov. In the beginning, it might seem sharp and even harsh, with pronounced cedar resin and powerful aldehydes that smell of something «evil,» like animal fat and tar, with tobacco smoke in the background.

But then everything changes: fresh herbs and air appear, as well as delicate kid gloves. The fragrance becomes softer and more floral. Jasmine initially sounds «dirty,» with an indolic note, but then reveals purity and tenderness. In the base, in addition to leather that smells of jasmine and powder, aromatic irises are felt - garden, June irises, from which it's simply impossible to tear yourself away
5/5

The vintage version is simply stunning in its beauty. It's bold, leathery, and very sensual. It has animalic notes that make the scent special. It's not just attractiveness, but something bolder and more frank, yet there's a charm in that 😌
5/5

This fragrance can be described as creamy and smoky, even with a slight hint of charred. The main focus here is on the leather, which feels incredibly soft and delicate. Bright aldehydes and fresh air are clearly present, but ultimately it's still a story about tender leather with floral nuances 🌸
5/5

The scent is really unusual. You have to wear it to understand it. On summer evenings, with a light leather jacket, it unfolds especially well, and the tar note becomes noticeable. In autumn, it smells drier and leathery. I don't use it in other seasons. Overall, EXCELLENT
4/5

In summer, by the way, I noticed that Les Exclusifs unfolds much more interestingly than in other seasons. The initial floral notes become more transparent and abstract, and the leather note appears faster and brighter. There's something elegant about this fragrance, but at the same time a bit rough, like a light touch of tar. Its sillage is quiet and calm, lasting quite long, creating an atmosphere of comfort and lightness
4/5

This scent is like a reflection of femininity and sophistication, but there's something sad in it that makes you ponder. It's close to me, not just in mood, but rather in a feeling of loss. To understand its true charm, you don't just need to try it, but to immerse yourself in it, feeling all its depth
