    What do reviewers say about Cuir Saddle and Chergui?

    Most leather fragrances want you to know they mean business. Cuir Saddle just wants to be near you. Intimate. Soft. The kind of scent someone leans in to catch rather than one that fills a room.Cuir Saddle
    If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
