Cuir de Nuit

Cuir de Nuit presents a warm, soft vanilla gourmand with a distinct dryness and depth, more akin to a dressed-down chocolate liqueur than a syrupy sweet treat. The opening reveals a bright pairing of vanilla and pink pepper, which fades slightly to reveal underlying cacao and coffee notes that contribute a subtle bitterness and earthiness. Over time, the fragrance evolves into a velvety, powdery vanilla with a slight musk and smooth undertone, making it ideal for cold weather and evening wear. While the name suggests leather, the scent is not leathery in the traditional sense—instead, it evokes a textured, suede-like quality through its dry, slightly woody vanilla notes. Despite its widespread popularity, longevity is inconsistent, often fading within 3 to 6 hours on skin, and many users report moderate to weak sillage. The fragrance is widely appreciated as unisex and grows on users over multiple wears, though some find the pink pepper overly sharp or the sweetness too subdued. It performs best when worn in cold environments or layered with other fragrances to enhance projection.
