Cuir de Russie is to Knize Ten as a flower is to a brick.
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Cuir de Russie is to Knize Ten as a flower is to a brick.
Would it be fair to include Leather Oud by Dior in this thread, I'm just curious about your thoughts and how does it compare to the original scents of this thread Knize Ten's and Chanel's.
