Crème de Cuir opens playfully: mandarin, bergamot and pineapple, lifted by pink pepper. Then the heart reveals a velvety white suede, warmed by a solar accord and sandalwood.
The base, of vanilla, birch and musk, gives the leather a creamy, addictive softness. A luminous, tender leather, the opposite of dark, smoky leathers.

Crème de Cuir in detail
BDK Parfums, an independent house from the Palais-Royal, starts from a material to tell a Parisian story. Crème de Cuir, signed by Violaine Collas, imagines a white suede caressed by the sun: a soft, luminous leather, far from smoky, dark leathers, softened by fruit and vanilla.
The official pyramid opens on mandarin, bergamot and pineapple, a juicy, sunny start. The heart brings together pink pepper, a solar accord, suede and sandalwood: this is where the leather appears, supple and velvety. The base pairs vanilla, birch, which adds a light smoky touch, and musk.
Crème de Cuir is worn in spring and autumn, by day or by night: at the office, at lunch, in the evening.
Three leather fragrances in our catalogue come close: 1740 Marquis de Sade by Histoires de Parfums shares bergamot, birch and vanilla, in a much darker register; Cuir Béluga by Guerlain brings together mandarin, musk and vanilla; Putain des Palaces by Etat Libre d'Orange pairs mandarin, sandalwood and musk.
