What does Cuir smell like?

Citrus and honey lead, giving a fruity, sweet and slightly gourmand start. Spicy and woody notes fill in underneath, while birch tar pulls the scent towards a smoky, resinous and animal depth. The leathery accord keeps the sweetness from turning soft.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out come up most often. Most call it masculine, though its classic character suits anyone. Helmut Lang Cuiron pour Homme and Zimaya Treasure have a close profile.
