What do reviewers say about Cuir Béluga and Caftan?
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
The frankincense at its heart is not subtle. It announces itself in a way that some will read as church incense and others will call magnificent, and that's the draw.Caftan
