What do reviewers say about Leather in Nude and Cuir Mauresque?
This is leather with second thoughts. Not aggressive, there's too much apple blossom at the top, too much softness in the drydown. But it doesn't apologize either.Leather in Nude
Civet is a signature element here, and the cumin and styrax smoke add a distinctive character that divides opinion. Either you're drawn to that raw, animalic skin scent into the drydown.Cuir Mauresque
