What do reviewers say about Cuir Velours and Cuir Ottoman?
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
The iris-leather pairing is either brilliant or polarizing. That tension IS the point. It begins with cool powder, then commits to a warm, intimate vanilla-suede.Cuir Ottoman
