Courrèges Seconde Peau is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Seconde Peau opens with Tea, settles into a heart of Pine, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Courrèges's Seconde Peau carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This 'second skin' scent is a divisive one. Fans adore its subtle, modern woody-aromatic character, perfect for intimate moments. Critics, however, find it too subtle, almost to the point of being undetectable. It's a love-it or feel-like-you're-wearing-nothing affair.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its intimate sillage and clean, green profile make it ideal for the office or casual wear where you don't want to overwhelm. While it has a quiet allure suitable for a close-quarters date, its minimal projection limits its impact for formal events. The fresh, earthy notes lend themselves well to light activity.

About

Seconde Peau opens with a serene, almost soapy tea accord, quickly transitioning to a translucent, airy pine that evokes an evergreen forest rendered in pastels. The drydown introduces a smooth, dry vetiver, occasionally hinting at a leathery texture, grounding the otherwise light and fresh composition. Underlying it all is a clean, modern musk, giving it a 'your skin but better' vibe for some, while others struggle to perceive it beyond a whisper.
