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.

About

Cuir Majeste opens with a burst of sweet dried fruits and the subtle floral nuance of osmanthus, balanced by a sophisticated whisper of incense. This quickly deepens into a rich, decadent heart of smooth leather, jammy rose, and a dry, smoky tobacco. The base settles into a warm, inviting vanilla, providing a creamy finish to this complex and opulent fragrance.
