Top notes are elemi and Bergamot; middle notes are Leather and Lily; base notes are Moss, Sandalwood, Musk and Amber. In 1960, Dior asked Paul Vacher to create a fragrance that had presence and strength, but one that remained extremely refined. He created Diorling in 1963 based entirely around the scent of leather. Paul Vacher demonstrated his genius by choosing his materials with the utmost care and created an olfactory leather bag. The handbag of a woman, a beautiful luxurious bag, as soft on the surface as the skin of the neck of the wearer, an imaginary creamy, handcrafted leather creation. “Paul Vacher devised a seamless bag, as light as a caress. " Chandler Burr, Dior Perfumes (2014). But Paul Vacher was already established in the leather olfactory world. In 1931, he had created Scandal for Lanvin, still considered a masterpiece of modern perfumery. Celebrating his vision and talent, Le Galion is proud to present Cuir, an original creation on the theme of leather, a citrus opening of Bergamot and Elemi oil builds around White Lily, Orientalgris, Musk and Sandalwood.
