Cuir Soyeux was made exclusively for the 10 years anniversary of Dutch perfume store Perfume Lounge. 150 bottles were created.
‘A decadent high dosage of iris. A dash of powdery sparkle created by heliotropin and musk, a voluptuous flirtiness by precious magnolia and narcissus rounded up by an overdose of labdanum, vanilla and sandalwood resulting in a creamy, warm, and slightly dirty base. – Perfume Lounge‘CuirSoyeux opens with a surface of aldehyde-infused citrus notes, followed by deeper tones of narcissus and heliotropin with powdery vanilla dust in the background, while labdanum hovers as a fluffy cloud above.
Magnolia is present as well, soft, opulent and slowly moving as movements of deeper layers bring forward a beautiful Orris structure, so characteristic for Francesca, rich, warm, and smooth as heavy silk at the same time.
Francesca’s leather accord in CuirSoyeux feels like the inner side of leather touching your naked skin in a very sensual and musky, warm, velvety skin-on-skin way with a refined and creamy sandalwood layer, so if you’ve found some of her other “leathers” too strong for your taste, this fragrance might be just the one you’re looking for.’ – The Plum Girl
