Rose & Cuir
Rose & Cuir by Frédéric Malle is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with geranium and blackcurrant, moves into vetiver and cedarwood and dries down to leather. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Dry-down
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
