Pierre Guillaume Paris Cuir Venenum 03 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Pierre Guillaume. Cuir Venenum 03 opens with Lemon and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Coconut, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Honey. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Cuir Venenum 03 carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This one is a properly divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that challenges perceptions of what a leather fragrance can be. Expect everything from grape soda to burnt plastic to boozy, smoky delight.

About

Cuir Venenum opens with a blast of sweet, almost syrupy orange blossom and bright lemon, immediately setting a unique tone. The heart introduces a creamy, tropical coconut, then descends into a surprisingly soft, nuanced leather. It's not a harsh, acrid leather; instead, it's smoothed out by honeyed sweetness, resinous myrrh, and warm musk, underpinned by dry cedar. Some detectable smoky, boozy, or even 'grape' facets add to its complex and sometimes unsettling character.
