Most voters pick Cuir Noir for autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits leisure time, nights out and evenings, and works at the office too. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage good. Voters lean slightly towards masculine, though a fair share call it feminine.
It opens fresh and spicy with pink pepper and elemi resin. In the heart, frankincense, plum and night-blooming jasmine add a smoky, slightly fruity touch. The base settles on black leather over cedarwood, with vanilla softening the edges. Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Dark Leather and Yves Saint Laurent Babycat have a close profile.
