Cuir Béluga
Eau de parfum
A pale, supple leather like white suede, softened with vanilla and musk.
Cuir Béluga takes the opposite view to dark, smoky leathers. Fresh mandarin lights up the opening, and the leather appears smooth and luminous, like a hushed interior designed by a 1930s decorator.
Immortelle adds a dry, honeyed note, then amber, musk and vanilla wrap it in a powdery veil. A soft, comfortable leather, worn close to the skin in any cool season.

Cuir Béluga in detail
Cuir Béluga belongs to L'Art & La Matière, Guerlain's collection in which the house's perfumers start from a material and an artistic emotion to compose unisex fragrances. The material here is a pale, supple leather, closer to white suede than to smoky leather.
Guerlain lists its notes without sorting them into stages. Leather is its subject, soft and powdery. Mandarin brightens it with a citrus touch, while immortelle, with its honey and hay accents, gives it a dry warmth. Finally, amber, musk and vanilla wrap it in a round, almost cottony softness.
Cuir Béluga can be worn from autumn to spring, by day or by night: at the office, at a dinner, or every day for those who love soft leathers.
