Review: Cuir de Russie candle by Le Jardin Retrouvé

I received this Cuir de Russie candle from Le Jardin Retrouvé so that I could review it and share my impressions with my readers. I loved the silver look of it, and I lit it, the minute I got it out of the packaging.

Cuir de Russie is one of my favorite Le Jardin Retrouvé fragrances. I reviewed it as a guest blogger at Cologne Perfume Fragrance.

In reviving this forgotten perfume, …Le Jardin Retrouvé has created a brand new interpretation of RUSSIAN LEATHER. While it still follows the strict traditions of French perfumery-making, it is distinguishable by its originality stemming from the various flowery and green notes, diffused and long-lasting, exhalting the the richness and warmth of the Jardin Retrouvé’s RUSSIAN LEATHER.

I love the green notes in it, which are not over powering, but add dimension.

The candle

The candle is very elegant looking. It is a dark silver color. The candle pictured online is different than the one I received. I do not know which packaging is the current one. Each candle will burn for more than 50 hours, and the fragrance will last until the end.

Cuir de Russie (Russian leather), a complex composition, very “warm” and powerful, containing ingredients evoking the smell of leather in a rather “impressionist” interpretation. It is constructed around harmonies of AMBER – SPICE – WOOD, with a light FLORAL touch which “rounds off” the composition and gives it a stronger diffusing power.

Scented air

The fragrance diffuses nicely into the air. It is exactly the right strength. It is filling the room, without being too strong, and I have moved it from one room to another.

My take

I rate this 4* out of 4*. If you love fragranced candles and want something that is a true perfume, not ordinary run-of-the-mill, this is for you. There is no candle wax over-scent. The candle burns true to the fragrance. They are moderately priced at 19 € each.

I cannot speak for the other fragranced candles, but judging from the qualities of the perfumes that I have sampled, I expect them to be every bit as lovely.

Have you tried any of their candles?

What do you think?

Have you tried any of his fragrances? (If not: Ask Them for Free Samples – Tout autour du Monde – All around the world.) Do you have a favorite?
