"May contain traces of leather and incense!" would have been a more appropriate name for this (massively overpriced!) perfume. And I don't go into court with him as hard as some of the previous speakers - but enthusiasm looks different, of course!
I always try to evaluate the fragrances completely independent of their prices - but here you definitely have to swallow, it hangs somehow shadowy over the impression. Especially since price tag and fragrance originality (and with some concessions also quality) bite a bit. "Cuir d'Encens" is a spicy-sweet, slightly fresh Oriental, somewhere between "La Nuit de L'Homme" and "Tasmeem". And that says it all. It's fine, it's pleasing, it's easy to wear. A solid combo for dates and leisure. But for only a fraction of what you want, it's been available for years. And even a bit better. At least the leather gets a pleasant, honey-coated texture and clarity in the course of time, which I appreciate and which fortunately distinguishes it minimally from mainstream competitors. As it flickers very powdery, it even has the effect of an iris scent at times. That suits me without question. But also in this respect it remains interchangeable and somewhat characterless. Nice - but here I mean "little sister"...
Flacon: shiny and clunky - but chic...?
Sillage: medium to discreet, almost pink
Shelf life: 7 hours can be expected
Conclusion: a powdery-pink "leather" blender with creamy, delicate cardamom crumbles - all very spongy at the beginning, but it catches. But it is not really worth its price for me at any time. Smooth mainstream disguised as luxury.
