Cuir Fauve

For me it's a smoky leather with a bit of oud. It's nice at times, particularly at the opening, but the smoke smells too much like cigarettes for me to enjoy.

I am not a fan. I have the old bottle with a "gem" on the cap. It's completely two-faced on me; I smell faint leather only if I bury my nose into my arm, but it projects soapy, old-fashioned aldehydes. Don't get me wrong, I adore aldehyde-based fumes, but it is not what I expected Cuir Fauve to be, going by reviews. Luckily I paid next to nothing for a sealed, old-style bottle. Maybe it just needs to chill for a while, after shipping. I don't know. But leather is faint, almost nonexistent. Smells like hundreds of old-fashioned perfumes out there, and it's my first disappointment from the house of Keiko Mecheri.

1.5 hours of longevity wtf really. It retails here 270 usd per 50 ml. All I get is a faint woody vanilla. Nothing else. Nada.

simply distgusting!!!!! any cheap arabic scent smells the same!

Keiko Mecheri CUIR FAUVE may be wild for this house, but it seems pretty tame to me. It reminded me initially a bit of Parfumerie Générale L'OMBRE FAUVE, but I think that I was unduly influenced by the name. And the amber. One big difference is that there is no patchouli in this perfume whatsoever, as far as I can tell, but the tobacco may be playing a similar role. To my nose, CUIR FAUVE is without a doubt an amber perfume with an oudy edge. Very smooth, however, and likeable. There is a touch of florality to it as well. I believe that both oud and amber enthusiasts will enjoy this creation, as those two notes are quite detectable yet harmoniously married. Those who have been decrying the strange phenomenon of oudless oud perfumes will be relieved to know that there is still hope. Ironically, this oud perfume does not boast of its oud in the name! Once again (as in Tangeri), I find the leather to be less pronounced in this creation, but, hey: what's in a name? Aren't they all metaphors anyway, at the end of the day?

Cuir Fauve is more of a peppery woody sweet, something kind of captivating, something cozy and worm with some patchouli & amber of course. Although i never liked a fragrance from this house but this one here is kind of different than all the softs they made. It reminds me of the family gathering around a table for a family reunion feast, and also reminds me of the times when i drew while listening to the series on TV in Ramadan! DAMN it brought me memories although i never smelled something like it before! maybe it's the cozyness it brings. It is quite a captivating essence with quality and unique creation.

Cuir Fauve The leather is really lovely and sophisticated. The top notes are fresh with citrus, the leather is so smooth and makes its presence known underneath the citrus. The citrus fades then the leather becomes just a little bit more heavier, but is still so smooth. The dark tobacco note comes through, it is really nice blending with the leather. The oud is rich, the scent becomes a little warmer from the soft melange of amber and spices blending with the tobacco as well. It dries down to a sweet powdery balsamic accord. I enjoyed getting wafts of the fragrance from my wrist. Tested from a dabber.

Strong and delicious, but I've just tried a sample. It's so expensive that I don't dare to buy a bottle...I like to have many perfumes and to change depending on my mood, even if I'm always fond of oriental perfumes. Is it really worth the shot ? Maybe I could find the same kind of fragrance, which would be less expensive ?

Received my coffret set of the Bespoke line and this one is by far my favorite! It's a true smokey, sweet leather. Like someone wearing a leather or possibly a suede jacket in a room filled with a good pipe tobacco smoke swirling around and two aromas mix together and you get Cuir Fauve. Very sophisticated and elegant.
