CUIR OTTOMAN

The dry-down is where this one shines—that benzoin and Tolu balsam keep the leather warm and almost smoky for hours. I sprayed it on my scarf this morning and it's still trailing softly now. Cistus adds just enough sweetness to make it feel wearable, not heavy.

That powdery iris really softens the leather note, so it never feels harsh even in the heat of the day. The benzoin and Tolu balsam give it a warm, resinous depth that lingers for hours, and I keep catching whiffs of it on my scarf long after I've sprayed.

The burnt styrax note gives it this smoky, almost campfire warmth that lingers for hours, and the Tolu balsam base keeps it from going sharp. I keep catching whiffs of it on my scarf even the next day, which is exactly what I wanted from a leather scent.
