Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Sublime Oud EDP
If you liked the 2023 Cuir, you'll love this 'new' iteration, which is essentially the same but with a softer, more refined dry-down that makes it even more universally appealing. YSL delivered a masterful revision.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Oud Sublime EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Cuir Sublime Oud by Yves Saint Laurent - a leather fragrance led by Leather, with powdery depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cuir Sublime Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent leather and oud notes, combined with strong projection, make it better suited for evenings and special events rather than the office. For a date, it's a confident, sophisticated choice, and while it could work casually, its inherent luxury shines in formal settings.

Oud Sublime

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The leather character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its leather, powdery signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
