SmokyWhat does Cuir smell like?
It reads as one piece: a leathery, woody core with the warm spice of saffron, pimento and nutmeg on top, while patchouli and oud add an earthy, resinous depth. Jasmine, rose and iris soften the floral side, and bergamot and lavender lighten the weight a little.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn mostly in the evening and on nights out. More voters find it masculine than feminine, though it works as a unisex scent. Rasasi Faqat Lil Rijal and Mancera Black to Black have a close profile.
