What does Cuir smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring in third place. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and also gets votes for the office and daytime. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, as votes split almost evenly between the two.

Lavender, mint and cardamom open it fresh. In the heart, pink pepper, clove and violet add spice with a soft floral edge. The base of vetiver, leather, patchouli and amber settles into a sweet, resinous, leathery warmth.
