The concept behind the use of Russian Leather in perfume is to evoke the aura of nobility and grace that only a select group of Russian aristocrats could afford to experience. Not only is the leather rare, but it also symbolizes the true essence of nobility and grace. To expand on this idea, the perfume makers looked to Japan and found that the jasmine flower represents the delicate balance between purity and love. The flower is often displayed at weddings to convey the beauty of chastity in marriage. Symbolism can convey deep truths when logic and reasoning fail. Cinema has been the most popular form of communal participation in fiction for the last hundred years. Setsuko Hara, who was the main actress in films made by some of the greatest directors of all time, including Yasujirou Ozu, Akira Kurosawa, and Mikio Naruse, embodies this symbolism. Her mysterious and beautiful persona is enshrined in some of the greatest films ever made, earning her the nicknames "the Eternal Virgin" and "the Woman Who Never Was." The fragrance 'Masae Aida no tebukuro' takes a traditional approach to the use of Russian Leather in perfume. Instead of using cheap synthetic ingredients, the makers have used only the most exquisite and sublime ingredients that symbolize true nobility. The fragrance is then infused with a rich, heady jasmine grandiflorum absolute to evoke the essence of true chaste beauty. The fragrance is further enhanced with modern elements such as sparkling golden ambergris, tea-heavy Hainan Oud, buttery Indonesian sandalwood, and crisp, meditative black sacra frankincense.
