New 'Old School' Leather

In contrast to Chanel, Dior has not had a real leather fragrance in its exclusive range for a long time. At least none with the word 'Cuir' in its name. I think they wanted to counter the Cuir de Russie. Did it work? Well, something interesting, though not entirely new, has been created.

François Demachy was less inspired by the Chanel fragrance than by the original Viennese leather 'Knize Ten'. Cuir Cannage has this vintage feeling, this DNA, but in contrast to the Knize, it is softer, more elegant, rounder and less angular.

I had a French grandmother and sometimes I would take a few francs from her handbag to buy an ice cream. When I smell CC I see that handbag in front of me. It smelled like powder, lipstick and leather.

I find Cuir Cannage to be very unisex, somewhat dry, flowery and not very sweet leather scent In the course of time a great tobacco note is added, it gets a bit smokier and makes the smell very interesting.

On my skin the durability is very good and I love the scent.

The golden mean

I love leather. More than any other component, it gives me a sense of invulnerability and strength, or to put it pictorially with Serge Lutens, perfume becomes a bit of iron armor for me, protecting its wearer. After having tested myself through all known leather fragrances in the past, Cuir Cannage was also on the watch list for a long time. Over the holidays the opportunity had finally arisen. Cuir Cannage is best described by relating it to other well known leather fragrances that I have already tested. It's not masculine like Knize and it doesn't smell spicy like 1740. No rebel. On the other hand, when I relate it to extremely elegant leather scents - like Cuir de Russie (the aristocrat among leather scents!) - that also fails because it doesn't look so polished. Cuir Cannage is actually right in the middle. When I smell the scent, I smell leather and orange blossoms. (This was described by some users as a "chewing gum note". ) The following pictures come to mind: An elegant but robust Louis Vuitton travel bag, the seats of a convertible or the leather seats of a sports car (Think for example of the chic model that James Bond drove into "Skyfall" when he brought his boss M into a safe hiding place :P). Sporty, elegant and absolutely suitable for everyday use, Cuir Cannage is for me. Cuir Cannage can't compete with the elegance of a Cuir de Russie and he's not a male, but he doesn't have to! For me as a leather lover it is a grateful alternative and alternation to the other listed leather scents. If you compare Cuir Cannage with other leather fragrances, you will also notice that it has a simple, minimalist structure (see Knize). Simply does not have to mean bad, but the concept works here like clockwork. I even think it's a high skill when fragrances have simple structures and are absolutely great in execution. I tested the fragrance in winter, where it easily lasts 8 hours and therefore has a very good durability. The Sillage is also good. He was noticed by my environment and (uninvited) complimented. At this point I would like to thank Bookie, who made this great fragrance experience possible for me. I love to wear this scent!

Almost a little bit disgusting...

For a good half year I have now tried to like this fragrance or at least to be able to get something out of it in my last despair. I would really like to like it but the only thing this scent causes me is headache and nausea Leather braid? Where?!
Leather possibly with much fantasy.
But rather an almost unbearably soapy leg of flower. Whereby also the flowers under the nasty and chemical appearing soap bubble can only be guessed and if at all they smell here after 80's self-illuminating plastic toys Facets? Not perceptible for me, because there is simply too much of everything and yet hidden behind or in the already mentioned plastic-like soap.
"Ew, it smells like a cheap urinal cake!" I've heard that before.
In addition to this, there is a silage from the first sprayer on that almost makes me lose my breath. And the intensity decreases only very, very limited. I mean, you can't even get rid of the stuff all day long. But that should please those who like Cuir Cannage.
Personally, I find it to be an absolute slap in the face scent. Little extravagant, little fine but completely overfed, chemical-plastic, penetrating and almost a bit disgusting.

Beyond leather

A blanket of elegance and comfort. You cannot buy style, it’s a state of mind and François Demachy has proven this once again. The opening is a wave of bergamot/orange blossom that spreads further with birch and leather but in such an elegant way that you can't help but love this perfume. Where does it stop? Sound can create echoes, this smell doesn't stop if you know what I mean. The birch becomes so soft with the tobacco and violet that your senses now get the true meaning of leather. The statement in 2014 was that they wanted to “scent the inside of a leather bag”…..I see a piece of wood with a fine layer of varnish or even as Andy Tauer described his Lonestar Memories as a rider after a long day on his horse...well the saddle of that horse, that paint, the leather pfffff where does it stop? Well...on the Cote d'Azur after sunset on a terrace and dreaming that this scent would never end…. Best discontinued fragrance ever!!!!
Ps: this is about the 2014 batch…

This is how Dior DNA smells like

Cuir Cannage is to me the most classic representation of Dior house...just like No5 for Chanel or
Shalimar for Guerlain. You can imagine a combination of an orange Italian soap and brown suede leather. The result is powdery...make-up-like. It smells 1920s. It is a warm scent and quite feminine. Others compare it to Cuir de Russie from Chanel and I compare it to Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Cuir Fetiche which is a lighter more polished version of Cuir Cannage but pretty much the same in the end.
