The Beautiful Spirit
Luca Turin gave the fragrance four stars in his 2018 'Best Of' list, and I just had to try it. Since there was no way to test it, I just hit it blind. The notes of frankincense, leather, beaver's horny, oud, everything in it that I love, was worth the small risk. Do you think I'd personally put a star on top of it? Let's see...
Immediately after spraying on, fruity incense rises up my nose. I would not have expected this fruity note. It must be the combination of mandarin orange and davana. The whole thing rather sweetish than freshly breathed, and for a second you could think of sniffing a black cherry juice. But then you're quickly brought back into the perfume world, because a sexy animal note appears. Must be the leather paired with the beaver, awesome! Now I start to like it, and this incense, ohhhh man is the good one. Due to the oud the scent slowly becomes darker and spicy, even if it is more the western-influenced variety. Nothing with cow barn or something. In its base note Aesthete reminds me very much of M7 from YSL, because it also keeps this slightly beguiling sweetness
I like the aesthete, although he does his own thing. In the course of time he behaves a little bit different than what you are used to, because most of it happens in the first minutes and after that he hardly changes at all. What remains is a spicy, (votive) smoky and slightly fruity leather scent.
It's not quite enough for the fifth star, but I'll gladly give him 8.5 perfume points.
On my skin it has a decent durability of 8-10 hours. Sillage I would say, rather discreet, it is not a fragrance that fills a room, you could even wear it in the office without your colleagues falling off their stools.
Aesthete has rather masculine features, but due to the slightly fruity sweetness, definitely feminine attributes.

The fresh breeze under the leather scents.
What Frederic Malle and J.C. Ellena had in mind when naming this creation, I could not really understand after the first spray. But slowly I think I have understood it.
Rose & Cuir is without doubt a floral fragrance, although not as expected. It works immediately after application on my skin, green, light, bitter, and a touch biting. The black currant gives it a slightly fruity and acidic note, which calms down quite quickly. The Szechuan pepper remains and gives a spicy pungency.
Somehow I have the feeling that the rose geranium has wandered completely into the mixer, with leaf and stem, because Rose & Cuir keeps its green dress as it goes. After half an hour the second performer finally crawls up your nose. There was someone else, oh, yes, Mr. Cuir.
He does not occupy the leading role in this game, and gives the lady priority at all times. He is now slightly present, grounding the scent and rounding it off in a wonderful way. Even with this fine leather note, the fragrance surprisingly retains its transparency, and helps it to last. Because over 8 hours are on my skin without any problems.
The perfect companion for windy spring days and mild summer evenings, when man or woman want to wear something other than citrus scents.
Perfectly unisex because, although flowery not a bit sweet.
It's not really rose, and not really leather either, but it's wonderful

That's what leather smells like to me.
Rania J. currently has 8 perfumes in her portfolio. Her style is inspiring, because it reminds me of some indie houses. All the fragrances in the collection have a theme and are mostly oriental, even 'Lavande 44' has an oud note, which is rather rare.
With Rania's leather scent it is a little different. I find it less oriental, and whether it now smells typically Andalusian, I can't say. The first time I sniffed it I immediately thought of a very expensive leather jacket, one made of soft nappa. Better still, the jacket is inside a brand new luxury car.
On my skin, the fragrance starts directly with a leather accord of violet, saffron and this light rubbery note. Don't worry, it's exactly this note that makes the beginning so luxurious. After a few minutes the fragrance takes on a wonderful buttery, powdery note. The iris butter is there and is kept in perfect harmony by the bending axe.
Very slowly, Cuir Andalou gets darker and smokier. The oud, which is never too animalistic, gives the fragrance a great spicy aura.
With a shelf life of more than 12 hours, it doesn't run out of puff so quickly, and the Sillage is also impressive.
Of the 8 fragrances in my collection that have the word 'Cuir' or 'Leather' in their name, Rania's perfume is my favorite because it really smells like leather to me

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.

Wild, Wild, Wild Leather
I was looking for a fragrance that would offer something different. Of the various leather fragrances from my collections, this one is the "wildest".
And his name also matches what's in the bottle, which is not always the case.
On my skin, the beginning consists of a hardcore patchouli bomb, nice and dry, earthy and spicy. You or your wife have to endure this for about 30 minutes before the mossy leather slowly comes out of its cover. Many fragrances that give you a certain amount of clap at the beginning get a little rounder in the drydown. Wild Leather remains wild, tart, dry and develops almost no sweetness. With its animalistic dark green note it could also be a fragrance of the 80s.
Every now and then a hint of Jil Sander Man Pure gets into my nose, but without the soapy/powdery from JS. The shelf life is extremely good, 8 hours without replenishment and the sillage is not bad either. For me a successful fragrance of the French brand, although I prefer other leather scents.
