What do reviewers say about Cuir Béluga and Cuir d'Orient?
This is Guerlain making leather behave. Instead of sharp, Cuir Béluga wraps aldehydic brightness around immortelle and patchouli, then dissolves into vanilla and suede.Cuir Béluga
Feisthauer took classic leather and stripped out the smoke, the tar, the aggression. What remains is soft suede dusted with iris powder and bathed in vanilla benzoin.Cuir d'Orient
