Cuir du Canada by Dana c1947

Cuir du Canada by Dana, was launched in c1947. Meaning "Canadian Leather", it is a quite rare perfume to find. One generally sees perfumes labeled "Cuir de Russie" (Russian Leather) by various manufacturers but I believe that Dana was the only company who produced a Canadian leather perfume.




Fragrance Composition:



So what does it smell like? It is classified as a leather fragrance for men and women. It has the notes of saddle leather...pungent and vintage.
  • Top notes: lemon, bergamot, geranium
  • Middle notes: jasmine, rose, patchouli, orange blossom, carnation, ylang ylang, orris
  • Base notes: birch tar (leather note), sandalwood, amber, musk, castoreum, civet, oakmoss, tobacco, cedar, benzoin, vetiver, styrax


 Art Et la Mode, 1948:
"The house "Dana" has just launched a new perfume "Leather of Canada"), created especially for the sporty woman and the modern man, perfume at the same time discreet, tenacious and chic."

Fate of the Fragrance:


I am unsure of when it was discontinued but the perfume was still being sold in 1950.
