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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With strong reports of 24+ hour longevity and notable sillage, this leans away from a casual office environment. Its sophisticated leather and floral notes make it highly suitable for dates and formal occasions, offering an elegant yet bold presence.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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 Saddle opens with a robust leather accord, quickly softened by a delicate floral heart. The suede note emerges, creating a smooth, almost powdery texture, while a musky, animalic undertone adds depth and a hint of intrigue. Amberwood anchors the composition, contributing a modern, slightly smoldering warmth that's both elegant and edgy.
