What does Les Nombres d'Or - Cuir smell like?

Leather, castoreum and opoponax form the backbone. Cardamom and cade juniper add a spicy, smoky hardness, while absinth sharpens the heavy build slightly. The accords are woody, resinous, earthy and animal, with little sweetness or floral softness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evenings or nights out; summer is rarely chosen. It reads masculine and classic. Sonoma Scent Studio Fireside Intense and Initio Divine Attraction have a close profile.
