What does Cuiron (2014) smell like?

Cuiron has no top, heart and base to speak of: the notes read together as one. Bergamot and mandarin orange keep the citrus fresh, while pink pepper and cassia add spice. Leather and suede form a soft, leathery floor beneath them, and woods and resins bring a dry, slightly smoky depth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it leans towards daily wear, the office and leisure time. It reads more masculine than feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Zara Vibrant Leather Éclat de Bergamote and bdk Parfums Crème de Cuir have a close profile.
