Scent Bar Staff Video Review for Creme de Cuir

Video Transcript

Today, I tried this on for the first time. This is Creme de Cuir and this is from the brand BDK Parfums and it was such a wonderful surprise. I didn't know what to expect. Now when it comes to leather fragrances, I never know what to expect because leather is handled so differently. You get something like Tuscan leather from Tom Ford or your classic Spanish leather or Russian leather scents that have a really long past. And more recently, there are fragrances like B683 from Marc-Antoine Berrois which have a very supple soft leather which is so different from Tuscan leather from Tom Ford. What I'm trying to say is leather is so varied and you never know what you're going to get with a leather fragrance.

So this is Creme de Cuir which means cream of leather. So I imagined I was going to get something kind of creamy and something kind of leathery and I do. And yet it's still not what I had expected and I really love it. This lists some fruit notes like bergamot but everything is bergamot and pink berries and pineapple. In recent years, pineapple has become a very popular fruit in fragrance but it doesn't resemble those kinds of fragrances. For example, when I say pineapple, a lot of people will immediately think of Aventus from Creed. It smells nothing like that.

What I love about this scent is I spray it on and it just becomes part of me. It wears closely but I'm reading reviews that it actually has outstanding longevity. It's an all-day fragrance. But what I get from it is a very light leather scent and even woods. There is birch oil in this fragrance and there is vanilla but it's not a gourmand cakey vanilla. I think all the vanilla does is add this softness to the leather. I love it.

I love fragrances that make me feel like the person I want to be if that makes any sense. Just very refined and sophisticated and this is definitely one of those fragrances. Finally Unisex

Lovely fragrance. Fresh on the first spray, but dries down to a soft, warm, light vanilla muskiness. Definitely a keeper.

Amazing. Strong cream and vanilla with a subtle hint of smoke. This leans more masculine.

OVERALL: pink suede, sandalwood at the face and heart, with light musk. Sandalwood with another light wood (birch oil, evidently). The citrus notes are seamlessly woven into the woods, creating a nice incense quality. No creaminess, but rather a softness to the suede. Slight headache when fresh. Unisex, leaning feminine a lighter-masculine musk on clothes day 2. PERSONALITY: Sophisticated, but no sense of humor, no real personality. Nothing enchanting just a quiet, quality depth. The most sophisticated soccer mom in the suburb. Great house, great cook, great taste in clothes, gives a treat every 3rd Friday of the quarter before brushing her teeth. PROJECTION: Quiet. 2-4 hrs on skin, 24 hrs on clothes.

The first thing that I enjoyed about this fragrance is that it's neither ultra feminine or ultra masculine. It's the perfect balance, so that being said this scent is subtle but has enough presences that you remember that it's on you. It is a very creamy lux fragrance it's dense but not in a overpowering way. I would recommend this to people who like the smell of leather but don't like an overly heavy masculine leather. I adore this scent very much it's a stable in me fragrance wardrobe.

Oh, this is nice! The beautifully-blended opening of citrus and pineapple is just right, not oversweet or the least bit synthetic, and segues gracefully into the soft, luxurious heart of suede and sandalwood. Vanilla in the base ensures an aura of creaminess for the whole. Rich, elegant and rather delicious, with a slightly masculine lean to my nose. Devastatingly gorgeous on a man. Not too heavy, but plenty of presence and some nice low key sillage. Love it!

Smells soapy. Underwhelmed.

When you first smell Creme de Cuir on your skin, you might be underwhelmed by its lack of oomph and excitement. However, once you forget you're wearing it, it'll sneak up behind you and give you a gentle hug. And who doesn't need that? Its soft leather and spice are rounded out nicely by a smooth creaminess that's promised right in the name. Underneath this, there's a layer of suede and musk that help sand down any rough edges that might exist. Ultimately, Creme de Cuir is not loud, in your face, or going to have people chasing you down the street. But for those who are lucky enough to stand near you, they'll feel the sense of calm you'll undoubtedly be bringing to their day.
