What does Cuir Cordoba smell like?

Black violet and suede come forward, while sandalwood and benzoin sweeten the leathery core and add a powdery softness. Patchouli and elemi resin bring a woody, spicy depth, and bergamot lightens the density a little. Floral and fruity touches also show up among the accords.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. Most voters point to fall and winter, though spring is also a fair choice. It leans towards nights out and evenings, yet sits close to daily and business wear too. More voters read it as feminine than masculine. Armani Privé Cuir Améthyste and Jovoy Rouge Assassin have a close profile.
