What does Cuir X smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably between the two.

Leather, cistus and saffron form a spicy, resinous base, softened by amber and vanilla. Iris and tonka bean add a powdery, lightly sweet layer. The overall impression is leathery, smoky and oriental.
