Brand: ELSHAMade in USA - ESTABLISHED 1935 - IT HAPPENED ALMOST 170 YEARS AGO In St

Petersburg the old capital of Russia originated the renowned and most popular fragrance "Russian Leather", in Cologne/Perfume and After Shave Lotion

Steeped in romance and history, this true story had its beginning during the years 1805-1820 which marked the reign of Alexander the 1st

This crafty Czar of Russia played the biggest of all tricks over Napoleon the French Emperor when he trapped Napoleon with his armies in Moscow and in the deep and immense marshes in the Polesiea region

theless, Alexander the 1st was noted as a gallant and romantic cavalier

It so happened that during his reign the first large perfumery was established and word went out from the palace to the chemists to create a fragrance that would match the odor of the leather of the boots of the Royalty

These boots were made of special leather created from the skin of small animal named Hucht

This rare animal was found only in the constantly frozen regions of the extreme northern part of Russia where there is only three or four hours of daylight

Only members of the Royal hunting parties were allowed to hunt the animal

They made many lavish and exciting trips to the cold northern regions for this sport

No one in Russia except Royalty could ever dream of owning such boots

The leather was not on the market

The strange fact about this silky leather was that it did not have the definate unpleasant odor of leather

Instead, it had a most pleasant and enchanting odor

The chemists went to work and succeeded in creating a fragrance that matched the delightful odor of the leather

It was then that most exquisite fragrance was crowned "Russian Leather"

Since its origin approximately 150 years ago "Russian Leather" has maintained its title down through the years as the aristocrat of fragrances

Throughout Europe and the American continent it is still acclaimed for its fascinating and lingering fragrance
