Cuir Infrarouge
Cuir Infrarouge by Maison Crivelli is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. The house lists its notes as bergamot, cinnamon, raspberry, cedarwood, iris, osmanthus, leather, oud, patchouli, vanilla and tonka bean, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
