Captivating French Leather: A Review with a Twist..
While Cuir Sacré holds a unique allure with its distinct French leathery essence, there are a few things to consider here. Initially, the fragrance captivates with its blend of suede leather, subtle spices, and verdant notes, invoking a sense of grounding and tranquillity reminiscent of nature's lush hues.
The pairing of cardamom and saffron at the top is particularly intriguing, as neither note dominates, creating a harmonious balance. This combination resonates deeply with me, as these are among my absolute preferred notes.
The emergence of vetiver is swift, followed by the subtle appearance of incense in the mid-range. As the woody notes gradually dissipate, the scent transforms into a refined aromatic suede leather, albeit with a NOTICEABLE contrast from its bold opening.
Despite its initial projection, the fragrance's longevity may vary; perhaps it's just my experience, as I've come across reviews praising its longevity, but on my skin, I find that its scent remains detectable for only 3-4 hours (top) before it seems to fade into obscurity.
Interestingly, Cuir Sacré seems to have a magnetic appeal to women when worn by men. (Judging by YouTube and online reviews and personal experience.
In conclusion, Cuir Sacre presents a delightful blend of leathery and woody notes, boasting a distinct profile that sets it apart. However, its performance is moderate, which is somewhat disappointing. (or it's designed that way on purpose?..)
Additionally, it's worth noting that it bears no resemblance to Oud Wood; having owned both, I can attest to their distinctiveness.
One personal note, I am a fan of the unique aesthetic of the gold flake adornments associated with Atelier des Ors, adding an extra layer of allure to the overall experience.
