In the name of the leathery rose
Cuir Pleine Fleur from the house of Heeley is a fragrance that is confusing at first glance. He can and wants to do a lot but where exactly it should go, he doesn't show you this directly or he shows you it, but everything seems incomplete. But before we go deeper, a few introductory words: I only knew Heeley from hearsay, but I'm always curious about leather scents. Why this one did not come across to me before is easily explained. I cannot enjoy rose in fragrances, lavender only to a limited extent. Both are contained here, so eyes closed and through, one would like to unken.
In fact, the fragrance starts off directly leathery, with the entourage also starting off ad hoc. It's not as spicy as I read, but rather flowery and lovely. The leather here is extremely soft, it appears soft and noble, and can be led by the rose. Yes yes.....the rose.......
This can be perceived clearly and in a leading way, but is still bearable as it clearly colours the leather, but does not completely dominate it. In general, various tones are mixed in, if you know about them or you might imagine it better that way. The cedar has a sublime effect on the suede, a pinch of cinnamon enhances the flowery, lovely effect of the rose.
Now - and this is the exciting thing in my eyes - the rose gradually disappears and the violet leaf emerges, although indicated as the head of the perfume. In terms of its effect, the fragrance can now be compared to the Fahrenheit flanker Absolute. The violet leaf provides an earthy undertone, emphasizing not least the spicy notes, so that over time a fragrance develops after all. This part is stronger but does not change the fact that it is floral here.
Nothing else seems to fit me here, because this present refined leather requires such partners and not strong, obstinate companions. It is too soft for that. Its own smell and a certain clarity in it are noticeable, but nothing more.
My difficulty with Cuir Pleine Fleur is the richness of the ingredients that are prepared for us here. I cannot help the impression that ingredients such as cedar, for example, can hardly penetrate and get lost. The birch - obviously not in the form of birch tar - is totally lost in its normal form. Yes, you can guess it if you know how it should smell. But that is not enough for me at this point. Also the orientation of the leather scent does not appeal to me subjectively. I am looking for more extreme representatives. One must not see it objectively like this, so I will not elaborate on this point

My conclusion: if you like rose leather or are looking for a flowery alternative here, you should test it. For those who prefer more coarse variants, this is a bad idea, because the other contents are much too dominant. But - Fahrenheit Absolute was finally discontinued - there is a not identical but related alternative to a designer fragrance and could find customers and fans here as well.

One-day test
Cigarette butts floating in the ashtray. For some reason, somebody snipped some flower stalks to go with it. Must have been some party. It stinks. Water? Soap? Then someone actually sprinkles flower petals on top. Too lazy to empty it out, I guess. But, it's hard to believe: this stinky gloop now turns into a dark spicy tobacco with floral aromas. I still don't really like this, but at least it seems classy now. The initially strong sillage has now reduced to tolerable levels. As it progresses, with CPF moving towards the skin, a little honey and slightly soapy aromas join in. After about three hours, the tobacco association becomes simply spice with floral, slightly soapy notes and still a little less honey.

It's not the first time I've perceived tobacco instead of leather, "Cuir de Lancome" comes to mind.

Conclusion: even if the ashtray association has already faded for some time, and the tobacco that then appears seems to be a noble: this is not a fragrance for me, and you forgive me for foregoing a second test day.

I thank Riechtick for the testing opportunity.

Full grain leather and then some ...
Cuir Pleine Fleur, or Full Grain Leather, opens nicely, and a soft leather is evident on top. Then it changes, quite dramatically, into something fetid.

My first thought: Bird cage, needs cleaning.
My second: City zoo, elephant pen.
My third: State fair, pig barn.
My fourth: Open, untreated animal wound.

The birch is beautiful - the best I've yet experienced - and the earthy, woody dry down is very wearable for me. But the farm experience ... it borders on repulsive and it's a little much.

Thank you @CatBiscuit for endowing me with a sample of this beauty. I'll use it on one fine day to piss off my co-workers, or I'll wear it in Vegas to make my way through a crowd. Either way, it'll go to good use. ;)

A contemporary take on a polite leather tradition
Very contemporary unisex take on the polite side of niche leathers. It is quite different from all others so that's already a plus. I enjoy violet or violet leaf and leather combo tradition, being Jolie Madame one of my favorite leather scents. Cuir Pleine Fleur adds bergamot and cinnamon for a sparkly start, transparent honeyed mimosa to brighten up and finally a shade of hawthorn and castoreum to give the drydown a polite animalic wink over the birch, wet vetiver and woody notes. Nevertheless, the wet green effect stands out and manages to generate a prevalently clean perception.

I value the calming effect it has on me. It melts beautifully with my own skin smell, so I find it extremely wearable. Chic, perfect for warm spring and autumn days. Longevity is pretty satisfactory but offers a moderate sillage.

Cuir Pleine Fleur
This fragrance opens with a chocolaty leather accord — dry and intense. It gives me the impression of a cowhide desiccated by the desert sun and winds. As the scent progresses, the chocolate undertone dissolves into a clove note with smoky accents. On me the spice dominates the whole composition and I see little of the initially-strong leather accord. It resurfaces more clearly only towards the dry down — after the spices have burnt off. Overall this is a very light scent with little lasting power: after roughly four hours it is gone.

Maybe a little heavy on violets and weak on leather, but I'm glad someone wasn't afraid of crashing into Fahrenheit and worked on the combo.

Leather, initially slightly tart (birch, violets), then fluffy, silky smooth and with a (weak) wonderful honey note. Fine!
