Guerlain Cuir Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Thierry Wasser. Cuir Intense settles into a heart of Leather, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Osmanthus. It lasts more than 10 hours on skin, fills a room and is best in autumn and winter. Guerlain's Cuir Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising leather beast, not for the faint of heart. While some find it an utterly repulsive hate crime in a bottle, others praise its photorealistic, luxurious, and intense leather character. If you want a bold statement that lasts for days, saddle up, but try before you buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Cuir Intense opens with a dominant, almost industrial leather accord, sharp and potent, sometimes with hints of shoe polish. As it settles, the leather mellows into a drier, smoky richness, backed by earthy cedar and smooth sandalwood. A subtle sweetness from osmanthus, sometimes apricot-like, and a tobacco whisper round out this complex, long-lasting scent.
