What does Cuir Elite smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good. Its dense build suits cooler weather and evening wear, and it sits between masculine and feminine.

It opens with cardamom, saffron and cognac for a spiced warmth. In the heart, rose, violet and iris add a powdery floral side, while plum brings a sweet fruity touch. The base is led by leather, vetiver and sandalwood, with vanilla and amber softening the rough edges into a resinous warmth.
