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 de Chine opens with a vibrant, almost tart burst of osmanthus, offering a peachy apricot nuance that feels fresh and airy rather than overtly juicy. This fruity floral character is expertly interwoven with a subtle, yet present, leathery impression - a soft, almost suede-like texture rather than a heavy hide. Hints of clary sage lend an intriguing herbal freshness, while a delicate whisper of tobacco adds an earthy, slightly hay-like depth, ensuring the sweetness remains elegant and never cloying. Egyptian jasmine rounds out the composition, providing a clean, luminous floral lift that balances the entire profile.
