James Heeley Cuir Pleine Fleur is an Eau de Parfum. Cuir Pleine Fleur opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Hawthorn, Suede, Rose, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Vetiver, Birch, and Castoreum. James Heeley's Cuir Pleine Fleur carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive, high-concept leather that smells like a freshly cleaned barn: hay, animalic undertones, and plush suede. It's an acquired taste, but those who 'get' it find it uniquely refined.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Cuir Pleine Fleur opens with a green, almost camphorous violet leaf, spiced with cinnamon, immediately evoking a rural, natural landscape. The heart unfurls into a soft, luxurious suede and powdery mimosa, balanced by a hint of honeyed sweetness and a green, bitter hawthorn. The dry down is a woody, slightly smoky affair with Virginia cedar, birch, and a subtle animalic castoreum lending depth and a gentle musk, grounding the floral and green notes with an elegant, rustic earthiness.
