Cuir Sacré
Cuir Sacré by Atelier des Ors is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with juniper berry, cardamom and cypress, moves into incense, saffron and cedarwood and dries down to cypriol, vetiver and leather. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Heart
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Dry-down
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
