What do reviewers say about Daim Blond and Cuir Velours?
The leather that doesn't announce itself. Powdery, soft, with an apricot sweetness that makes the animalic feel like skin, not a car seat. It sits close. You lean in to catch it.Daim Blond
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
