Luckyscent Videos: Creme de Cuir by BDK Parfums

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
