What do reviewers say about Crème de Cuir and Solution No.9?
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
Bitter almond gives it an edge; rice keeps it grounded. Jasmine and sesame make it soft without being safe. This is for someone who wants interesting, not loud.Solution No.9
