Guerlain Les Absolus d'Orient Cuir Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Thierry Wasser. Les Absolus d'Orient Cuir Intense opens with Ylang-Ylang and Osmanthus, settles into a heart of Musk and Leather, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Tobacco. Guerlain's Les Absolus d'Orient Cuir Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This one's a proper wild beast, not for the faint of heart or an easy blind buy. It's a polarizing, opulent leather bomb with monstrous performance that inspires adoration in some and outright revulsion in others. Try before you commit.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its nuclear performance and intense, animalic leather accord make it utterly unsuitable for office or casual wear, as it will overpower any small space. This scent is best reserved for formal events or special occasions where its luxurious depth can shine without overwhelming others.

About

Cuir Intense opens with a bright, almost fruity floral kiss of osmanthus and ylang-ylang, barely hinting at the animalic intensity to come. Soon, a rich, dark leather dominates, smoky and robust, backed by a subtle, creamy musk. As it settles, dry tobacco mingles with balsamic cedar and smooth sandalwood, creating a deeply textured, rugged yet sophisticated finish that lingers for ages.
