What do reviewers say about Cuir Noir and Bayswater?
This is leather that learned warmth. Not the harsh stuff, the kind that's been handled, worn, loved. The vanilla and benzoin don't soften it so much as complicate it.Cuir Noir
This fragrance goes from warm spice to rose to leather in a way that shouldn't work but absolutely does. The rose isn't delicate here, it's assertive and takes command of the heart.Bayswater
