What does Cuir Fauve smell like?

It opens with citrus notes, saffron and pink pepper, a bright kind of spice. In the heart, violet leaf and patchouli add a floral and earthy side. In the base, Bourbon vanilla, precious woods and amber sweeten and warm it; leathery, smoky and animal accords come forward over a woody foundation.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and favour night out and evening wear. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though the feminine vote is strong too. Réminiscence Bois Étoilé / Oud and Histoires de Parfums Édition Rare - Ambrarem have a close profile.
