What does Cuir d'Ange smell like?

Its longevity is good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter next and summer trailing. It leans towards leisure, business and daytime wear, and votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine.

The notes are leather, hawthorn and musk. Leather forms the backbone, hawthorn adds a soft floral touch, and musk lays a sweet, powdery base. Spicy and smoky shades add a little depth. Pierre Guillaume Métal Hurlant and Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Cuir Fétiche have a close profile.
