What does Cuir 28 smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening, leisure and night out are the leading occasions. Close to half of voters find it masculine, though it reads as unisex.

Leather, woods and musky notes move together, with vanilla absolute softening the leather's edge. The accords also bring spicy, resinous, earthy and animal tones, and a faintly synthetic sheen runs through the air around it. Tauerville Incense Flash and Montale Aoud Cuir d'Arabie have a close profile.
