Naomi Goodsir Cuir Velours is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Julien Rasquinet. Cuir Velours opens with Tobacco and Rum, settles into a heart of Suede, Immortelle, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Incense. Naomi Goodsir's Cuir Velours carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Cuir Velours is a sumptuously smooth suede scent, divisive for its sweetness but adored for its elegant, wearable take on leather. It's a rich, enveloping hug rather than a challenge. If overly sweet scents aren't your jam, test first, otherwise, prepare for a sophisticated treat.

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.

With its rich suede, rum, and tobacco accords, this scent leans towards evening and cooler weather. While too opulent for sports and potentially too strong for a conservative office, its sophisticated warmth makes it ideal for dates and formal events, though it can work casually in the right setting.

About

Imagine wrapping yourself in a blanket of warm, soft suede, infused with the golden glow of labdanum. A boozy hint of rum dances with a subtle, dry tobacco and the uniquely sweet, slightly syrupy essence of immortelle, all underpinned by a gentle whisper of incense. It's a harmonious blend of sweet, leathery, and amber warmth.
