    Some fragrances compete for attention. This one doesn't need to. The ambrette seed gives it a golden warmth that reads as personal rather than present, powdery without the soap.Peruvian Ambrette
    If you want to blend in, this isn't for you. Cuir is leather as a statement, suede and smoke and something animal underneath. The sweetness in the drydown is what makes it wearable.Cuir
