What do reviewers say about Crème de Cuir and Meringue?
Crème de Cuir does not smell like the leather goods counter at a department store. The opening is frankly fruity, the heart is tender, and the base is just skin and warmth.Crème de Cuir
The name sets you up for something sweet. The suede delivers something else entirely. The citrus opening is a bright introduction that quickly steps aside for the suede.Meringue
Good to know
