Cuiron pour Homme

I found Cuiron to be particularly compelling if you're into minimalistic / stark type of fragrances. The leather note is anything but lived-in / luxurious / animalic / challenging / smoky or whatever adjective may be appliable to certain types of leathers a-la Knize Ten / Cuir De Russie. It's a subtle, clean suede note with unripe fruity/citrusy indertones that shares much more similarities with a brand new black leather couch with chromium-plated details than with a lived-in armchair in front of the fireplace. Extremely modern and chemical (which in this case is as good as it is for many compositions by CDG). A dry to the bone structure that perfectly reflects the style of this house. Discreet luxury opposed to ostentation. Hidden details, square cuts, no logos/monograms. Often classified as a woody chypre but, personally, I don't get much wood out of it. A must have. Rating: 9/10

Mysterious dapper masterpiece, the creative director was Helmut Lang himself, a gifted and rather eccentric fashion designer and abstract modern art sculptor and his abilities are reflected in this fragrance. Everything in this fragrance is blended like a fine Swiss watch, every note compliments the other in extreme precision. A dry tobacco, a suede leather, the spices, and citrus touches combine to make this very unique. I believe this is the leather fragrance that inspired Tom Ford to make what he did with his own brand, yet his creations are nowhere near as Avant-garde. Sad it was discontinued but this was never going to last in the marketplace, humans weren't ready for it.

Older version, Cuiron by Helmut Lang is in the top 5 suede. Rather a clean/fresh vib not a stuffy/dirty aroma. I'm fortunate to have the version shown and not the new stock. Longevity and Silage is moderate lasting about 6hrs. Overall, This juice has a sweet/floral top note. After it settles you enjoy a spicy/suede blend. This frag is excellent during the fall/winter months..best during the evening. A very rich/complex fragrance. 9/10..if you find the version shown...don't wait, you'll enjoy it and you've tried before...the new version isn't the same. 8/10

This is a light suede citrus scent with 4 hours of longevity and maybe 1 hour of projection before turning to a skin scent. The dry down overall is a very basic men's fragrance. Overall I give this a neutral due the juice being nice it just doesn't last very long. Nice for the office or casual wear due to not being offensive to my nose. Try before you buy due to pricing...

I own over 3000 perfumes at this point and I rarely throw this word around, this is a masterpiece. The dude who wears this is 100% a piece of shit, wears jeans that are way too skinny and the same leather jacket every day no matter how hot it is outside. His body count is approaching 300. Banger!
