Leather scents are quite specific and intriguing, not something everyone can confidently wear. Leather absorbs all the warmth and cherished memories, safeguarding them within its depths and allowing them to emerge only when its multifaceted aroma is inhaled. Despite being trendy, leather-scented perfumes have not lost their flair for exclusivity and aristocracy. Inspired by this, Mona di Orio has created her magical perfume, Cuir, encapsulated in a restrained and refined bottle.
The opening notes of Mona di Orio Cuir feature a warming and intoxicating synergy of absinthe with cardamom, followed by the cologne unveiling itself in a vivid duo of leather scent and fresh juniper, seamlessly transitioning into a balsamic sweet-spicy syrup of opopanax and castoreum. The fragrance envelops, evoking a tumult of emotions and a kaleidoscope of associations. Mona di Orio Cuir is suited exclusively for the bold and deserving men and women who create an aura of mystery and mysticism, concealing their profound nature beneath an ostensible aggressiveness.
Today, a young man pointed out to me that I smell like perfumes from the 90s. I was at a loss for words and couldn't think of a similar fragrance from that era. While I was pondering this, he added that I also smelled like leather, with all the charms of a shoemaker's workshop.
As the perfume develops, it becomes more delicate, with hints of greenery and an animalistic scent, reminiscent of wet, animal fur. It's like when you wet a wool sweater, only more intense and animal-like.
I realized that this fragrance is simply not my cup of tea.
Most of the time, it happens just like that. You read reviews and conclude that this is exactly the fragrance you are missing and it will be the embodiment of your desires, but it turns out to be the same as always.
- Purely a feminine fragrance for 50+.
- There is no usual/traditional leather note at all.
- There is a hint of suede-like tone (similar to the male Baldessarini Ultimate).
- In fact, we have "smoky black plum" framed with opoponax.
Unjustifiably expensive, subtle, and unnoticed perfume.
Fast delivery, thank you.
I really hope that this is indeed a different bottle. But I am not confident about it, especially considering the fact that there is only one bottle. I purchased this fragrance and had to return it due to a defect! My bottle had a problem with the sprayer. The cap simply wouldn't stay on. Furthermore, the top of the cap, in a glossy black color, was covered in tiny scratches. Be attentive when purchasing this fragrance.
