Have you worn Crème de Cuir?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. vitodito

    The opening is a bomb of green citrus, so bright it eclipses everything at first. Although it’s slightly disorienting, it’s the best part of the perfume. The leather or suede barely appear on my skin; what dominates from start to finish is an intense musk. It doesn’t create an enveloping bubble, but rather a fine, clean trail. I’m not put off: it’s pleasant and easy to wear, though it’s not the creamy suede idealised (like Russkaya Kozha). In two trials, it was a citrus explosion at first, and as it faded, a subtle mix with sharp bursts. Pleasant, but not what I expected. Worth trying.

    I had high expectations and idealised it, but it’s not a bad perfume. I feel it lacks power and brightness in the opening, something Rouge Smoking does have. It’s more of a skin-scent fragrance, for intimate moments where you lean in to smell. It has that sexy, sensual and charming touch, but it doesn’t blow your mind.

  3. Mesm851216

    It reminds me a lot of Bulgari Black, but six times more expensive. I don’t recommend it because it lasts very little on the skin.

  4. It opens with a sparkling, fruity pineapple top note, but quickly gives way to the main protagonist: the leather. It is extremely creamy, refined and elegant, slightly spiced and sweet in just the right measure. If I think of the easiest-to-wear leather I’ve ever smelled, it’s this one. 100% unisex and super versatile. Lasts over eight hours on skin. I love it for a second-skin aroma: warm, intimate and one that wins at close range. It has something sensual and addictive. I love it.

  5. I don’t like it. It smells like cleaning suede with cleaning products, an artificial and unpleasant scent that makes me feel nauseous. When it dries, it smells like an older woman; it’s a completely feminine perfume. It projects moderately for an hour and a half, with a longevity of 4 to 5 hours on skin. A dispensable purchase if you’re under 70, even if it cost 20€.
