Guerlain Cuir Béluga is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Olivier Polge. The fragrance opens with Aldehydes and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Immortelle and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Suede, Amber, Vanilla, and Heliotrope.

Our verdict on Cuir Béluga: Favourite

Cuir Béluga is a smooth, sophisticated vanilla suede that's garnered a devoted following. While some find its aldehydes a touch vintage or even "play-doh" like, the majority praise its elegant comfort. It's not a loud scent, but its quiet luxury is utterly captivating.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its intimate sillage makes it suitable for office wear without being intrusive, while its luxurious and sensual character makes it perfect for date nights and formal events. It's a comforting yet elegant choice for casual wear in cooler weather, but definitively not for sport due to its rich, vanilla-suede profile.

About

An exquisite veil of soft, powdery vanilla, bolstered by a subtle whisper of buttery suede. The opening features a bright, effervescent tangerine and a touch of aldehydes, which quickly settle into a warm, inviting heart where immortelle and patchouli add a sophisticated herbal sweetness. The dry down is a luxurious embrace of heliotrope, amber, and a creamy vanilla, making it feel like a second skin.
