Eau de Couture

I love and live for Cher and I love her og perfume Uninhibited. I have several bottles of it, edt and perfume. I just got my bottle of Eau de Couture and I’m so happy that it’s so close to Uninhibited. I wouldn’t say it’s more modern because I don’t consider Uninhibited old school in any way. Yes, it’s retro like Opium but in my opinion it’s eternal, not retro. Also I love the bottle, it suits the scent a lot better than the original because it’s more unisex even tho I love the original bottle especially the pure perfume and the box that it comes in. Eau de Couture does differ from Uninhibited a little bit. It’s not as strong but it comes down to the ingredients that are in perfumes these days. Older fragrances have probably many ingredients that are banned these days for variety of reasons. For example sometimes I get a headache if I spray Uninhibited but that never happens with Eau de Couture or any other new perfume. And I’m not even sensitive to perfumes. Also when I compare Uninhibited to EdC it has some floral notes that don’t exist in EdC or at least are not that strong. Uninhibited is a dirtier version of Eau de Couture! I have nothing bad to say about Eau de Couture. It’s a winner. But I hope it will hit the stores soon and not just the internet and not just US. I paid 82 dollars for shipping, customs and taxes( to Finland) and 85 dollars for the scent itself. And that’s pretty crazy. I almost regret that I ordered it because of that lol. But still I love it! Here are the notes that are in Eau de Couture (not all of them are listed in fragrantica or at the scentbeauty site. But all of them and probably more are in the perfume and mentioined in various articles: top -bergamot -neroli -freesia -clove -aldehydes middle -jasmine -violet flower -carnation -orange blossom -rose base -vanilla -vanilla orchid -orris -vetiver -tonka bean -sandalwood -musk -heliotrope

IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME... I would have bought this a long time ago. Of course I got it because of the celebrity (singer, actress, academy award winner) attached to it. It comes housed in a faux leather box that mirrors the lid and decorations on the bottle. It projects that sort of risqué look some have come to associate with Cher (think the Turn Back Time leotard and video), but the fragrance inside is bold but familiar (much like the artist herself). Starts with a burst of citrusy cloves. Yes, it smells a bit medicinal/barbershop. But going for cloves and not cinnamon already sets this apart (more mulled wine, less cinnamon bun). It then melts into a flowery rosey jasmine with the spices still present (which root this in a unisex territory). To finish a nice lasting base of sandalwood vetiver. The former, because of its ubiquitous presence in soap may justify some of the other reviews here. But the vetiver holds it from fully landing in cleaning supplies territory. All in all, distinct and full of personality. The spiciness makes me think it's more suited for colder seasons and nights. But hey, if you think this works for warmer weather, who am I to not BELIEVE you?

Wanted to buy this for ages but Scent beauty wouldn’t ship to the uk or something like that so as soon as I saw it on Amazon I ordered it straight away. I’ve never smelled uninhibited as it was discontinued long before I was born lol, however always being a fan of Cher I’ve been curious to try it but again, shipping prices for old tiny bottles that may have turned on eBay were ridiculous. Now to Coutour, when I first sprayed it I really was taken aback and thought oh I don’t like this, very aldehydic and powdery which I normally dont mind it fragrances. It was so aggressive and overwhelming it worried me but literally in a few seconds it settled into this Smokey sweet vanilla and vanilla orchid aroma and I fell in love. Literally in love. I’ve been using it on nights out and don’t find it to be that overbearing on my skin it’s more of a if someone gives me a hug they can smell it perfume. Now I’m glad Cher stuck with her guns and basically from what I’ve seen others talk about rebottle Uninhibited as it shows that she knows what she likes and listened to what her fans wanted. All in all I love this!

Since this website is not yet offering a page for any of the Cher Decades collection, I’ll pitch in my review of two of them here: Cher 90s Couture: jasmine with a creamy vanilla-sandalwood dry down. The vanilla is like vanilla flowers, not food. Very pretty, very lovable. Good quality. Unisex. Vaguely reminds me of Escada Magnetism for men but leaning more unisex or feminine. Also reminds me of the original Chanel Égoïste but with jasmine. Slightly reminds me of I ❤️ NY For All by Bond No. 9 (the black bottle in the I ❤️ NY series) but without the spice and gourmand notes, and much more wearable. This smells like flowers and woods, not food. Definite keeper. Cher 70s Couture: lots of character. If you can handle cardamom and ambrette, you’re in luck. The musks and everything else about it dry down to a soft suede that has a cocoa butter vibe, which I love. Personally, the cardamom and ambrette notes don’t work for me. Glad that 90s Couture offers something very lovable and wearable at such a good price.

I’ve been wearing this for a week now and I have to say it’s absolutely addicting! Having never tried Uninhibited, I wasn’t sure what to expect. When I first sprayed it, it reminded me of my hubby’s shaving cream. After a while I got the spicy vanilla which kind of reminded me of Diptyque Eau Duelle. Being a fan of white florals, I wasn’t really sure how I felt about it. I was ready to dismiss it when I got a whiff of it on a piece of clothing I was wearing the previous day. Hmmm, something smells really good. Wore it again the next day and have been wearing it ever since. The longevity and sillage are really good. It lasts the whole day on my skin and even longer on my clothes. It is a very comforting scent without being too sweet or cloying. My hubby, who never comments on my perfume, noticed it. I also love the bottle... very chic.

MINE arrived TODAY! The bottle and box are so, so much better looking in person! The name is kind of behind/inside the bottle and the bottle is wrapped in a leather like band. I love that the bottle is masculine and feminine, or as Cher has described it as Genderful :) If you loved or love Cher's original Uninhibited or have always wanted to know what it was like or why so many love it.....YOU NEED Cher eau de Couture. It is almost like Uninhibited rebottled. I put some Uninhibited on one wrist and Couture on the other wrist and they are hard to tell apart. I cannot begin to express how happy, pleased and excited I am to have Uninhibited back :) Thank you Cher!!!!

Eau de Couture is beautiful, masterfully rendered classical perfumery. This sits among Guerlain classics such as Jicky and Habit Rouge, but it really reminds me of Jicky without the dirty notes. It is so gorgeous. A light mist is best. It even has the slightly cooling camphoraceous appeal of at least one of the 19th century Guerlain classics. If you believe that perfume is supposed to smell like sugar and berries and candy, go get yourself a bottle of candy smelling kids’ perfume and let the grownups enjoy refined classical perfumery without having to hear the whining that this is not a candy store. Cher, it’s “strong enough” for me and I love it.

I was 15 when I bought my bottle of Uninhibited EDT. My classmates hated it and that made me love it even more! I got my sample today and gave it a try, I felt the past echoed in a powdery form. I could attest this 2019 effort was a total homage to a much more mature version of Uninhibited. Definitely old school, in an attempt to capture a shadow of its late '80s glory. I just read all the other reviews now and just as Uninhibited before, it's not for everybody. Much respect to Cher for her consistency in bringing Uninhibited era back to life in the form of EdC by Cher. I might just get me a bottle! 💕

Cher’s Eau de Couture is absolutely beautiful. Somehow it's not overly feminine. It's billed as being for both men and women, and I'd agree that it's good for either gender. Or anything in between. In my opinion, this fragrance is very well blended. None of the notes overwhelm. But when everything is taken together, this fragrance definitely has substance. Beautiful substance.

I have this and I love it! I am into fragrances from the 80’s and 90’s. I like to use 4 sprays and know my scent will last the day! Working from home is a Godsend because I don’t have to concern myself with others sensitive noses. I have a second bottle in my cart now. This is a Classic powdery fragrance that lasts! I have a diverse collection, and this fits in perfectly!

If Cher says she likes smoke, incense and Opium, that’s exactly what I get with this. The opening hit me with too much vetiver or patchouli, but after a few minutes it dried down to a nice, spicy floral. It might be a bit too floral for me (or on me), but it’s a beautiful scent. Would probably smell like a soft cologne on some guys.

Cher is releasing new couture fragrances inspired by the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s all in there own pretty bottles colours coming next year! So excited for them to come out

Now this perfume is Cher, of all the interviews i've seen of this perfume she talked fondly of the creation of this and how close she was to the perfumer. From the gist of it I sense that Cher new what she wanted and her answers were similar to when she was being asked about Uninhibited back in 1988 so she knows what she likes. I saw her say she loves the smell of smoke and incense and when Opium was first released in Paris she took cases of it back to America for her and her friends. The first opening spray of Couture is a powdery incense and it smells very vintage. Something draws me into this because as it goes on that Vanilla Orchid really sweetens things up and I really do smell a warm tobacco and a dark rosey carnation mix which makes me see why people think this can give a potpourri vibe as its definitely a dark floral vibe in its heart. For a celebrity release it does smell like the old 80s powerhouses that not even perfume houses are making these days let alone a celebrity ( I think Cher is way above than 99% of those celebs who slapped their name on a fragrance in the last decade or so) Throughout the day this gets smokier and sweeter and it doesn't overpower it just gives gently bursts all day and just makes you go mmmmmmmm every time it hits you. The packing is really chic and modern and the bottle feels very high quality and well made. It's a night-time perfume for sure and it will last you until the next morning and will stick to your bedsheets. I'm so glad that Cher took her time to make this and I'm very excited to try the decades collection!

Distinct, totally something else than the majority of bon-bons and gurmands mainstream. An atemporal feeling when you wear it. The price is bit higher but it is beautiful indeed. Unfortunately, there is only a pale connection with the Uninhibited, a true masterpiece that I am keeping with care in a big untouched stock. Uninhibited is warmer, more complex, the oriental notes are proeminent and the entire concept is far away from Eau de Cuture. All in all, this new fragrance is a success and for sure, very suitable for someone pretentious who wants to stay out from the crowds. 8,5/10

Yet another blind buy. Absolutely gorgeous for a cold winters night or snuggling beside a log fire. Its spicy and insensey (is that a real word?). Quite sexy but not in a dirty way. Classy sexy. It is quite 80s style which I love. To my nose the easiest way to explain this is if original Opium and Agent Provocateur had a baby, this is it. Its a bit of a beast mode on my skin which is unusual for me as my skin just absorbs perfume. The plastic 'leather ' on the bottle is a bit naff tho. Would of liked real or even fake leather. 👍👍🥰🥰🦊

First impressions - I'm getting a dark smoky heady vanilla. This is nice. Later - this has good staying power, a little went a long way, and I can smell it on myself. Score! I hadn't been familiar with vanilla orchid but apparently I like it. :) Subsequent wearing, I'm getting the clove spice - that's a plus for me as a spice lover. :)

as if it took this long for Cher to release a new fragrance, the wait was worth it. to me it smells like Nivea cream with a hint of cloves and powdery notes. A lovely fragrance if you ask me, definitely a vintage smell. I find the bottle to be cute, I wish it had a packaging that was more Cher but it's unisex so I get it.

This is a grower. You also need to wear it in moderation. Although not very strong, one or two sprays is good and with layering. Without layering it smells kind of outdated. It can a nice unique floral twist to vanilla scents that I own and tone down the screechy sweetness. Opening is harsh but the dry down is nice

This is nice. The notes don't match each other at all, but on my skin this is very similar to Perfect Vanilla from Sarah Horowitz. Cher has a bit more of an old school powder, in the same vein as Habit Rouge. I love the orange in this. I enjoyed my sample but won't purchase a FB because I already own Perfect Vanilla. There is a slight plastic smell here in the background that I don't care for.

The second I smelled this scent I instantly was transported to a 1980s Cher wearing her black leather and big curly hair. The white florals are the most prominent, definitely a light clove scent, powdery. Smells quite older, too feminine for me I don't see this as a unisex scent. Not an unpleasant smell, just not for me better for older, sophisticated, outgoing and confident woman.
