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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its beastly projection and longevity, Cuir Intense is far too assertive for the office. It truly shines at formal events and makes a memorable statement on a date. Its intensity makes it unsuitable for casual daytime wear or anything active.

About

Cuir Intense plunges you into a rich, deep leather experience. It opens with an almost raw, dry leather, powerfully accented by smoky tobacco and sturdy cedar. As it settles, hints of osmanthus emerge, adding a subtle fruity-floral nuance to soften the edges, preventing the leather from becoming overly austere. The base is an enduring blend of dark wood, creamy sandalwood, and persistent animalic leather, delivering remarkable depth and longevity.
