Imperial Leather Original Soap

Imperial Leather is a British brand of soaps, toiletries, and healthcare products manufactured by PZ Cussons. The brand's origins trace back to 1768 when Russian nobleman Count Grigory Orlov commissioned a perfume called 'Eau de Cologne Imperiale Russe' from Bayleys of Bond Street in London. This perfume inspired the creation of the Imperial Leather soap in 1938, which was initially named 'Russian Leather' before being renamed to 'Imperial Leather'. The soap is renowned for its classic, luxury fragrance and rich, creamy lather, making it a trusted choice for generations. While primarily produced in the United Kingdom, Imperial Leather products are also manufactured in other locations to meet global demand. PZ Cussons, the company behind Imperial Leather, is a British multinational consumer goods company specializing in personal care, home care, and food products. Headquartered in Manchester, England, PZ Cussons operates globally, offering a diverse range of products under various brand names. As of 2026, PZ Cussons continues to own and operate the Imperial Leather brand, maintaining its legacy in the personal care industry.
