Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Smells like roasted apples with cinnamon and a touch of ash, featuring an oud that I absolutely adore. It’s neither too tamed nor stable-barn wild, but perfectly balanced in that interesting middle ground. It’s sharp and very lightly floral, leaving a beautiful scent that sits between comforting and alert.
Mollinard’s Cuir is a bold move from the French house, naming a note that generates love or hate among all aroma lovers. Faced with that dilemma, I say Cuir seeks to enchant through other attributes, not just the leather, so I wouldn’t recommend it for blind dates. You must try it before wearing it. I bought it in Nice, at the same house, in autumn; the breeze from the French Riviera makes the notes stand out more. I remember a walk along the coast with my wife, both wearing the perfume; a wonderful moment to enjoy together and see it shine. If it’s not the leather, what is it? In my view, it has a strong connection to that zone of glamour, outdoor dining, and vibrant social life, where the pleasure of flavours and aromas is exquisite, which pulls the leather back and boosts noble notes like spices and a grateful nutmeg to maintain that glamour and desire. It’s a spicy and noble fragrance, exquisitely achieved, integrating peppery, aromatic, and sweet notes from the opening to the heart, making it a versatile olfactory bet. At every moment you’ll sense different notes, where the leather has a shy intention of stealing the applause, but by its origin it adds a very sensual and entertaining aroma where all the notes shine.
