Cuir

Cuir opens with sharp cardamom and licorice-bright anise, cutting through like spice striking worn fabric. The leather unfolds warm and animalic—juniper's resinous pine edge keeps it grounded, almost medicinal. Castoreum and opoponax anchor the base with a creamy, slightly sweet animalic warmth that lingers on skin like suede held close. The whole arc feels taut, smoky, unadorned.
