Parfums de Marly Kuhuyan opens with jasmine and violet leaf and deepens into leather and oud, a masculine fragrance that holds floral and leathery sides together; it has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: When coat weather arrives, this bottle comes off the shelf.

What does Kuhuyan smell like?
The top is jasmine and violet leaf, while leather and heliotrope lead the heart. In the base, tonka bean, oud and amber settle in, giving a sweet, spicy, resinous warmth with a smoky, animalic trace behind it.
Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evening and nights out, though daily and business wear also get votes. It reads masculine, but a fair share of voters call it feminine. Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Aswad and Franck Boclet Leather have a close profile.
