Our verdict on Hermessence Cuir d'Ange: Favourite

This one is pure 'quiet luxury' bottled- a soft, sophisticated leather scent that's either a masterful, ethereal experience or a faint whiff of disappointment. Your nose's mileage may vary, but it's an undeniable Jean-Claude Ellena classic.

About

Cuir d'Ange opens with a delicate, almost ethereal floral whisper of violet and heliotrope, immediately softened by a powdery embrace. This ethereal introduction quickly melds into the star of the show: a smooth, buttery leather, reminiscent of the finest suede rather than a raw hide. Hints of hawthorn lend a subtly earthy, animalic depth, while a clean, persistent musk underpins the entire composition, creating an effect that's both polished and intimate. It's a leather scent that avoids any harshness, leaning instead into a refined, almost angelic sensuality.
