BDK Parfums Crème de Cuir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Violaine Collas. Crème de Cuir opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Suede, Sandalwood, Pepper, and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Birch, Vanilla, and Cashmeran. BDK Parfums's Crème de Cuir carries a Favourite verdict, a musky-led wear.

BDK Crème de Cuir is a wildly divisive scent, adored by some for its unique take on leather and dismissed by others as too boring or even unpleasant. It's an understated, creamy blend that defies expectations, proving you either get it or you don't. Love it or hate it, it's certainly not a crowd-pleaser.

About

Imagine stepping into a high-end leather boutique, but someone’s just sliced open a juicy pineapple cocktail nearby. That’s Crème de Cuir in a nutshell. It opens with a burst of zesty grapefruit, mandarin, and surprisingly creamy pineapple, swiftly transitioning into a smooth, soft suede heart spiced with pink and black pepper. The base lingers with comforting cashmeran and musk, underpinned by a subtle birch woodiness and a hint of vanilla, all creating a 'creamy leather' effect that's both refined and elusive.
