Yves Saint Laurent 2016 EDP
Cuir
Yves Saint Laurent Cuir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Cuir opens with Ginger, Saffron, and Rum, settles into a heart of Osmanthus, Tobacco, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Leather and Guaiac Wood. Yves Saint Laurent's Cuir carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.
A seriously sophisticated leather, rum, and tobacco combo that screams 'old money' with a hint of rock and roll. It's a statement piece, but be warned, it's a beast in performance and can be polarizing for those not ready for its dominant presence.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong, distinctive accords, Cuir is completely unsuitable for office wear. It truly shines for dates and formal events, projecting a sophisticated and sensual aura, but it's too much for casual daytime use.
