About This Perfume
Yves Saint Laurent Cuir comes across as smoky leather jacket, ginger rum, black tea. It opens with saffron absolute, rum and ginger, moves into black tea, osmanthus absolute and pipe tobacco and settles on leather, gaiac wood and Oud. It reads unisex.
This parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2016.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something leather forward and sweet for nights out.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $340.
