The name was change from Revolte to Cuir/Leather in 1939. With the name change came a reformulation and redesign of the bottle.
‘Révolte, by Lancome, is worthy of its elders; a tenacious, fairly complex fragrance reminiscent of scents of leather, and which, as it develops, exhales a very captivating floral note.’ – Stay Young (1936)
‘Fiery perfume, full of vibrations, dry, which softened by delicate touches, marrying scents of fine skin and flowers with the strange scents of leather. Floral enough in refinement to be a delicious perfume for women, as discreet insinuating as it it takes to rank among the best men’s perfumes.
