Le Jardin Retrouvé • Cuir de Russie
Cuir de Russie - Certified mood booster • QUALITY OF SLEEP
Cuir de Russie is an Eau de Parfum blending violet, leather, and precious resins—a tribute to the Slavic roots of Yuri Gutsatz, founder of Le Jardin Retrouvé. Inspired by a childhood memory of his father’s leather boots, this fragrance reveals a tender, personal side of Russian Leather.
In 1924, ten-year-old Yuri fled Russia while his father stayed behind. His last memory: the scent of his father’s leather harness as they hugged. Years later, after learning of his father’s death and building a career in perfumery, Yuri founded Le Jardin Retrouvé. The first scent he created was Cuir de Russie—a loving tribute in violet and leather.
Yuri wore it for the rest of his life. His son Michel still does.
The name remains unchanged, out of respect, by Clara Feder, Yuri’s daughter-in-law.

LE JARDIN RETROUVE
Le Jardin Retrouvé is a French, family-run perfume house founded in 1975 by master perfumer Yuri Gutsatz—a pioneer who broke away from marketing-driven perfumery to create a truly independent brand inspired by the universal symbolism of the garden.
Relaunched in 2017 by his son Michel Gutsatz and artist Clara Feder, the house honors Yuri’s original formulas while embracing sustainability and wellbeing. Today, in-house perfumer Maxence Moutte continues this legacy, using up to 99% natural-origin ingredients and eco-conscious materials.
From organic alcohol and clean beauty standards to recyclable packaging and reusable containers, every detail reflects our mission: to combine authentic wellbeing with timeless olfactory artistry.
Le Jardin Retrouvé: a garden rediscovered—pure, poetic, and planet-friendly.
