Yves Saint Laurent Cuir Sublime Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Cuir Sublime Oud opens with Leather, settles into a heart of Violet, and dries down to a base of Oud. Yves Saint Laurent's Cuir Sublime Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

If you liked the 2023 Cuir, you'll love this 'new' iteration, which is essentially the same but with a softer, more refined dry-down that makes it even more universally appealing. YSL delivered a masterful revision.

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 Sublime Oud kicks off with a bold, animalic leather, commanding attention from the first spray. This initial intensity gracefully softens as a powdery violet heart emerges, smoothing the edges and introducing a sophisticated floral touch. The journey concludes with a deep, smoky oud that intertwines with the softened leather, creating a warm, enveloping, and subtly rebellious dry-down. It’s rich, complex, and utterly captivating.
