Cuir Kora

I'm in love with this, this isn't just a leather perfume, no, no way. It's a perfume unlike anything I've smelled so far, and it can't just be characterized as a leather perfume, I'll call it "bipolar". Let me explain why, when we apply it and when we smell it for the first time it's a very strong leather (make us feel confidant) and with a touch of wood and spices, after two hours , the perfume opens and we start to feel a fruity smell but I can easily identify the light touches of leather, wood and spices. It really is amazing. The concept of the house L'orchestre Parfum is very different from what it's out there, and the packaging gives you the image of the unique concept. Everything make you fall in love with the concept and the perfumes from 0 to 10 Longevity - 9 (it is quite durable but it gets softer. but at the end of the day you can still smell the perfume on your skin) +12h Sillage- 8 (it is strong and i love it) Gender- for me it's Unisex because i can see myself using it. But most of the people will think that this is for men. L'orchestre Parfum should walk in the mouth of the world, and be talked about more. For me this has been the most rewarding discovery of recent times.

On paper: Smooth elegant ripe fruity opening slowly lead way to a more leather woody dark brown scent as it evolves. Everything blends beautifully without the danger of offending anyone. On my skin: With one spray it goes straight to leather and wood and opens up this dark vast atmosphere. The heavy leather and wood brought me to a newly veneered wooden house in the middle of South East Asian dry summer heat, or a traditional wood furniture factory of sorts. Greeting me there is a majestic brown horse, eventually, I'm led out to this indescribable place where all the amazing contrast of this perfume lay out to play: the fluffy softness vs heavy smokiness, sweet vs bitter, dark vs light, masculine vs feminine,... yet never conflicting. What a beautiful journey from beginning to end. And it lasts quite long my skin which is quite rare for me. Personally would have loved it even more if the sweetness of the fruits are more detectable on my skin. Nonetheless, 9/10.

This was a blind bold purchase and I have to say, I’m so glad I did! I always gear towards warm scents as they fuse with my skin chemistry very nicely and what stood out to me in this formula was the mango and leather. At first, I did not like the scent on the first try. Gave it another day and sprayed again and fell in love. First blast you’re hit with fruit, definitely the mango! Not feminine or zesty and very sweet, it’s a very pleasant sweet, then followed by this juicy and spicy plum. This profile sticks around for an hour on me. Beautiful transition to this final soft leather scent. Not too over powering as leather notes tends to be and the dry down becomes this warm, soft powdered-leather and the hint of spice still singing in the background and plum keeping the creamy leather bright. It’s literally a song with each note harmonizing and complimenting each other. LOVE this fragrance and the concept of this brand. Looking to get my hands on Flamenco Neroli

From the opening, I feel very dry and spicy notes. Elemi resin and cardamom spice. An entry that takes the nose! A note of dry fruit, that of mango, dried by the sun, makes a shy appearance. The leather note is present from beginning to end. It is accompanied by different subjects that will bring it subtle nuances. A dry and "spicy" leather. A dry leather and "fruity". (I push the fruity note!) A leather anointed with labdanum and benzoin. Softer at the end. It is not a ferocious animal. I expected a more polychrome perfume. higher in color. I find it a little depressed. It remains a beautiful leather. Like my boyfriend’s leather jacket, which he wears on his skin and which, I will wear after him...to keep his warm and sensual smell.

Ok i am going to be the first reviewer of this scent. For me, This is the PERFECT gentleman scent! What a beautiful creation! Excellent way of combining Mango notes with leather and woods. So elegant, so soft and warm! This could be used in all seasons. It is an excellent signature scent for the gentleman! There is some sexiness when it dries down. Which makes it perfect. NOTES ARE: Mango, Leather and Woods. Very well blended. Performance: Very Good, 6-7 hours in cold weather. It might perform longer. Sillage: Very Good, Arms length. Excellent for Office, Occasions and Signature Scent. It suits adults more. Not a clubbing fragrance. Excellent creation from Anne-Sophie Behaghel and Amelie Bourgeois.
