Rose Cuir
About
Cool geranium and black currant set a dry, composed tone from the first minutes, then peppered leather takes over. The rose is fresh and restrained, never sugary. Vetiver and cedar leave a clean, graphic finish on skin.
Rose & Cuir opens with cool green geranium, a tart black-currant shade, and a dry prick of Sichuan pepper. In the heart, a leather accord comes forward quickly, while the rose stays restrained and almost unsweetened. The contrast is built on friction: fresh floral air against sharp, peppered leather. As it settles, vetiver and cedar pull the fragrance into a drier, more tailored line. The trail feels controlled, focused on leather texture and a cool-toned rose rather than creamy sweetness. It suits wearers who want a modern rose without powder or gourmand effects. It works best in cooler weather, evening hours, or a business setting where a composed scent profile fits.
