What does Cuir Solaire smell like?

Bergamot, orange and petitgrain give it a bright citrus side, while jasmine, orange blossom and heliotrope add a soft, powdery floral note. Vanilla and amber bring sweetness, and leather, patchouli and clove carry a spicy, leathery warmth. Marine notes sit within the mix as well.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most voters suggest spring and autumn, with winter and summer not far behind, and it is chosen most for leisure, evenings and nights out. It is presented as a women's perfume, though some voters also find a masculine side in it. Fendi Fan di Fendi Extrême and Guerlain L'Initial have a close profile.
