Dior Cuir Cannage is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by François Demachy. Cuir Cannage opens with Bergamot, Orange Blossom, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Leather, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Cade, Birch, Violet, and Tobacco. Dior's Cuir Cannage carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is simply one of the best leather fragrances out there, a rich, complex scent that's been tragically discontinued. Owners love it, and if you can snag a bottle, prepare for an absolute masterpiece that'll turn heads and leave a lasting impression.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Cuir Cannage opens with a bright, floral burst of orange blossom and ylang-ylang, quickly ushering in a deep, supple leather accord. As it settles, a sophisticated iris emerges, powdery and elegant, intertwined with smoky birch and juniper. The base deepens with resonant cade and a hint of tobacco, creating a smooth, animalic warmth that lingers beautifully.
