What does Cuir 1976 smell like?

Voters find its longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is still tentative. It is unisex and isn't tied to a particular season or occasion.

Orange blossom opens, marron glacé sits in the heart and leather anchors the base. The sweet and creamy accords lead, with spicy and leathery edges drying it down and a synthetic sheen alongside. Demeter Fragrance Library Saddle and Hoermanseder Berlin Nights have a close profile.
