Have you ever dreamt of touring Russia? Wanted to see Moscow’s Red Square? Or view the Winter Palace or Fabergé Museum in St. Petersburg? Or perhaps you are interested in collecting perfume or vanity items produced in Russia? Perfume and vanity item makers have over the years evoked Russia with the popular fragrance of “Russian Leather” (aka Cuir de Russie or Juchten), references to the Troika (Russian version of the Pony Express was a sled pulled by teams of three horses), or images of the Russian emblem of a two-headed eagle or a Russian wolfhound (Borzoi).
Although we cannot currently travel to Russia due to their war in Ukraine, we can take a virtual tour through the items in our Virtual Museum.
