Cuir au Miel

Orange blossom and lime blossom brighten the opening of Cuir au Miel with a clean, slightly herbal gleam. As the composition settles, Indian oud deepens beneath honeyed sweetness and rose, while ylang-ylang adds a creamy, almost waxy floral backdrop. The base unfolds in layers: warm leather and tobacco leaf emerge first, then hyrax and castoreum add animalic richness, while sandalwood and beeswax create a honeyed, resinous foundation. Oud resurfaces—earthy, dense—alongside civet's dark, musky tones, pulling everything into shadow. Patchouli and labdanum ground the composition in bitter-sweet earth as osmanthus traces a final floral whisper before leather and warm spice dominate the skin.
