What does Le Cuir smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters place it in night-out and evening settings, with leisure and daytime wear well behind. It reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine.
The scent is sweet and creamy, with a floral, fruity feel running through it. Suede softens the leather character so it never turns harsh, while musk wraps everything in a smooth warmth. Osmanthus brings the fruity floral note forward.
