Description
Launched in 2016 as part of the Le Vestiaire des Parfums collection, Cuir translates the rebellious yet sophisticated spirit of the classic leather jacket into an olfactory masterpiece. This fragrance is a tribute to one of the most iconic garments from the house of Yves Saint Laurent, capturing its dual nature of protection and seduction.
What does Yves Saint Laurent Cuir smell like?
An Eau de Parfum from the Leather olfactory family, Cuir masterfully captures the essence of a material that is simultaneously raw, protective, and exquisitely refined.
- Top Notes: The overture is a smoldering whisper of golden rum, its boozy warmth electrified by the crystalline spice of ginger and a thread of sueded saffron, creating an immediate and intoxicating aura.
- Middle Notes: A complex heart unfolds where the velvety, apricot-like floralcy of osmanthus is steeped in the dry, aromatic tendrils of black tea and the rich, honeyed scent of unlit tobacco leaves.
- Base Notes: The soul of the fragrance emerges in a profound dry-down of supple, animalic leather, deepened by the smoky, almost sacred resonance of guaiac wood and a refined, shadowy touch of oud.
