What do reviewers say about Skin on Skin and Cuir Velours?
This is the fragrance for people who don't need the room to know. Restrained sillage, skin-close warmth, and a suede-iris drydown that rewards proximity over projection.Skin on Skin
The immortelle and rum sound like a folk remedy. The leather and frankincense sound like something ancient. Together, they make something that shouldn't work but absolutely does.Cuir Velours
