Cuir Cavalier

Cuir Cavalier is a bold, modern leather fragrance centered around a prominent saffron-rose-leather accord, with a rich, syrupy depth that unfolds slowly. The opening is sharp and slightly plasticky, with a bright blood mandarin and a sweet, powdery rose that evokes Turkish rose water, but it quickly settles into a more cohesive, even romantic profile. The saffron is clearly dominant in the heart, imitating natural tincture with a dry, spicy note that lingers throughout. Leather is smooth and polished, not raw or smoky, and the base reveals a subtle oud presence that adds transparency and depth without overpowering. The scent feels elegant, with a strong sillage that remains impressive and persistent—some report scent lasting over 12 hours, even on fabric. It exudes a refined, almost aristocratic character, evoking a luxurious leather capsule with sweet, floral nuances. While at times it feels mechanically precise, the craftsmanship is undeniable. The fragrance strikes a balance between ostentatious and wearable, leaning toward nocturnal or winter wear, and appears especially favored during evening hours.
