LeatheryWhat does Vanille Cuir (2012) smell like?
It opens with mint, lavender and bergamot. In the heart, orange blossom, cinnamon and cumin build a spicy floral core. Cedarwood, vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood leave a sweet, woody base, with the powdery and leathery touches staying in the background.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring comes next, and summer is rarely chosen. It suits evenings, nights out and leisure time. Most voters read it as feminine, though some find it masculine. Its profile is close to Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio Terra di Siena and Sangado Irrésistible.
