Leather, is that you? Knock-knock. Who’s there? Not leather. Not a single sliver or slice of tanned hides to be found behind this door. But that’s the point. Corticchiato has gone down the road several have been before to give us materials trying to trick us into smelling leather - and you know what, he does a much better job than most. Corticchiato wants to make sure we know it’s a ruse; this isn’t a joke at our expense, we’re in on it from the start. The opening notes are highly convincing, thanks to a bracing start of highly animalic styrax, and sparkling funky resins that give a medicinal/chemical tanning effect. It’s marvelous. Then in a cloud of powder that suddenly drops and wafts like flour spilled on a kitchen countertop, the floral heart trying to put a leather mask on. Chalky and starchy orris and an extremely parched indolic jasmine nestle with warm benzoin. The effect is beautiful and quite convincing of soft and supple suede, like the interior of a lady’s makeup-carrying leather handbag. Unlike, say, the massive powder bomb that is Dior’s Cuir Cannage, which repeated this formula many years later, this is a leathery floral that very comfortably rides the unisex line. Don’t be fooled by the marketing towards women, men can easily pull this off and I think it would be quite a bit more striking on a man than a woman. The powder is just enough. The florals are just enough. The animalics are just enough. The resins and warm woods are just enough. The bitter tonka and sensuous vanilla at the base are just enough. Corticchiato has this composition expertly balanced to a pin’s tip precision. Hardly unique or novel, and nothing surprises or makes you think much, but, again, not the point. You buy this because leathery orris is classic, a winning recipe that should be a genre all of its own, and because you know, appreciate and love Corticchiato’s virtuoso compositional abilities. A tried and true presentation in the hands of a master. Of course it’s great.

I don't like the opening of Cuir Ottoman at all. I pick up jasmine,a strong iris, and leather that is so powdered that my nose doesn't process it as leather. It's entirely grandma-ish (it smells like the bottom of a grandma's handbag) and I just don't like anything about it. Thankfully, it's short lived and an unpleasant opening is almost entirely forgivable if the drydown is great... and thankfully, the dry down is great. The leather warms up and begins to dominate while the florals recede and are replaced with a subtly dark underbelly of smoky spiciness. Theres also something vaguely herbal to my nose that gives it an atmospheric sort of vibe, like the scent of a place. The leather note here is very unique, as some have mentioned it bears a resemblance to the leather present in Dzing, the sort of soft, high quality, dry, beige-toned leather compared to the astringent permanent marker-esque, pitch-black power leather in Tuscan Leather and ADP Colonia Leather. It's nice and kind of pulls a 180 after that retirement home opening, going surprisingly modern. It puts me in a similar headspace as Tauer's L'air Du Desert Marocain. Images of the desert at night, scarcely populated by traveling merchants and the occasional caravan of camels. But whereas the Tauer is a little bit playful and endearingly cartoonish with it's interpretation, Cuir Ottoman is more severe and serious. I really like this but I don't really feel the desire to get a full bottle. It's pretty well done but I don't think I can see myself wearing it often. Regardless, this is the best fragrance I have tried from Parfum D'empire after the nightmare of Wazamba and the mothballiness of Musc Tonkin . 7.5/10

The more I wear this, the more I love it. Of the many I have tried, this is the perfect leather based perfume. It is not for the faint hearted but it is definitely wearable. I think it's awesome. It falls in the middle of the range of leather fragrances. It is not at the smokey birch tar/ cade oil end, nor is it at the soft floral subtle suede end. The leather note created is similar to a fine pair of leather gloves The leather is softened by the floral from the prominent iris note, but it is not sickly sweet and I find it impossible to disentangle all the notes that form the accords. Somehow they just work together to make something truly wonderful. To me it seems elegant, refined and classy, and probably best in autumn and winter. It creates a great scent 'bubble' and has an airy quality but also with some 'edge'. Despite being floral it is probably just on the masculine side of unisex. Of the Parfum d'Empire fragrances I have tried, and they are all good, this is the star of the show. It is quite potent and has excellent longevity and significant projection and sillage even with just 2 sprays and it changes subtly over many hours but still retains its main accord. If you like leather based fragrances then definitely give it a try Update :- What makes this different from many of the floral leathers, is that here the floral and the leather are really well balanced. In many the floral notes are very much in the foreground and the leather plays a supportive role in the base perhaps appearing more in the late drydown...here they are more balanced from the start with the leather also playing front stage. To me, that is a little better suited to a man

“oh, dear, another Evil Grand Vizier masculine oriental, all ominous heavy syrups and leather, this sort of thing is fine but I’m boooored of it” “oh wait is this...interesting? a little spark of dry incense? a touch of old-books-smell? and a cloud of mellow, plush vanilla-iris? I’m intrigued!” Cuir Ottoman is eminently civilized and luxurious, and if anything a bit on the feminine side; within a minute the cliche’d labdanum is gone and we’re in a cloud of fluffy iris and shining jasmine, over a smooth, smoky black-leather core. There’s a warm, almost tangy resin in the mix as well— maybe the tolu balsam. The drydown is soft, pale, vanillic, and beautifully refined. It’s winter, and you’ve gone downtown to visit the art museum. Maybe you’re with your mom, or your sister, or an old friend from home; it’s going to be a day of comfortable, cultured pleasures and quiet affection. You’re wearing a warm wool coat and scarf and beret. There’s snow on the ground, and someone’s burning leaves in the distance. You might pick up a coffee-table book at the gift shop; you might grab a cappuccino. You have the whole afternoon ahead of you and the wind is brisk and gray. Life, for once in this crazy world, is easy and good. Cuir Ottoman, despite the name, isn’t much of a leather; it’s more of a soft, lightly sweetened iris, with a little bit of a smoky spine. Luca Turin finds it dull, but I love this sort of thing. It might be a darker, drier cousin to Heure Exquise. Lovely stuff.

"Velvety and luxurious; the scent of a luxury leather handbag." Cuir Ottoman is a 2006 fragrance from French fragrance house d`Empire. It's the one fragrance that caught my interest since I am partial towards leather fragrances and indeed, it's an intriguing one. On my skin, it smells a bit like Christian Dior Homme because of the iris leather scent, but much less sweet and more creamy. After some time, it develops into a scent akin to the inside of a Hermès-style upmarket handbag. Velvety and comforting, it smells of pure luxury and is an exemplary modern leather fragrance that is on the far end of the leather spectrum opposite the vintage style such as Cuir de Russie by Guerlain or Chanel, which is darker, harsher and has a more acquired scent. It belongs to the same category as Hermès's Cuir d`Ange and Christian Dior's Cuir Cannage, which I dub the "Luxury Handbag Fragrance" category. There are some minor differences among them: Cuir d`Ange is much more floral, which can be a little forced at times. Cuir Cannage is a tad darker and maybe a little richer. Cuir Ottoman is the most subtle, yet has a balsamic-styrax twist that gives the soothing fragrance a slight edgy twist akin to Knize's Ten or Hermès's Bel Ami. As a leather fragrance fan, I love it. I'd say it's less feminine than Cuir d`Ange and thus is perfectly unisex. It's sniff-worthy for fans alike and if you want to know what a high-end leather bag smells like. Very good stuff!

whaaat a wooonderful scent this is!!!! strange, strong, unique! Earlier today I reviewed Jubilation XXV, and Cuir Ottoman is the best example of a weird scent that is well put together, that has a clear idea behind and deserves its cost. Plus: it is indeed furiously strong but never offputting nor invasive. I am not particularly a fan of leather, and iris can sometimes get on my nerves but here the seemingly huge amount of both is fabulously well blended. It is strange how I never mention Parfums d'empire amongst my favourite brands and still I find their offerings outstanding and following a line. You can certainly say this reminds you of Wazamba, Azemour and even Ambre Russe even if they have such different ingredients. Corticchiato is a master imho. Now back to the scent, imagine a new pair of leather shoes, somehow bitter, only slightly animalic, plus a chic floral touch (iris) staying many hours and delivering a unique allure. Both men and women should be able to enjoy this artwork. You'll smell gorgeous, believe me! It changes a bit during its development, becoming milder and easier for leatherphobics. Still, it keeps its glamour all the way. If I had to choose only one scent of this brand, this would be it without any doubt, even if it is not my favourite smell out of those... because of its versatility, wearability and uniqueness. I blind bought this and I haven't regretted it a single time. Standing ovation for its author!

Generally sceptical about niche productions - too much hype, ridiculous price levels for the man in the street, and the irritating aura of snobbery - I am ready to bow before Cuir Ottoman! This scent is like a time machine and reminds me of Jamiroquai's song "Travelling Without Moving" as suddenly I am whisked away to the good ol' days of happy and carefree childhood, being up to mischief and playing pranks with my brother in our grandma's house, and jumping on the ancestral velour sofa (ottoman ;) ), whose smell is encapsulated in my little vial of Cuir Ottoman. Oh, no, this is no mere excercise in nostalgia... but a rediscovery of a lovely and long-forgotten smell from my childhood. The softest and lightest leather rendition I know of is accompanied here by the dusty, powdery iris and sweet benzoine, finally to be topped with tulu balsam, which altogether produce a delicate breath of some kind of a clear colored wood varnish... One word describes it best: Sensational! I do not detect jasmine and incense, but am so satisfied with the result that I feel Cuir Ottoman will be an indispensable addition to my wardrobe once I'm rich ;) since I want to preserve this childhood memory so much... Longevity: about 8 hrs on my skin Sillage: hard to determine as I used a no-spray vial only, but I have an impression it is more of a skin scent. Love at first sniff!

“Cuir Ottoman” from Parfum d ́Empire contains the most authentic rendition of leather I ́ve experienced so far. Like in all other fragrances from this house, in “Cuir Ottoman” Marc-Antoine Corticchiato draws his inspiration from history, namely from the once powerful and feared Ottoman Empire. Nonetheless, what he ́s created is by no means a suffocating, dusty-and-musty scent of the forgotten past. On the contrary, “Cuir Ottoman” is a modern, effervescent perfume, packed with top-quality ingredients. The presence of the leather note becomes unmistakeably obvious from the very beginning. It ́s dominant and harsh, but, at the same time, incredibly true to life. To me, “Cuir Ottoman” is unique in the fact that its leather never completely evaporates as its vestiges are also perceptible in the base. The initial harshness of the leather is curbed first by benzoin and tolu balsam, and later on by tonka bean and vanilla, which not only act as softeners, but also provide the perfume with a hint of sweetness. “Cuir Ottoman” is a potent scent, predominantly aimed at leather note lovers. I truly admire the amount of imagination and expertise that must have gone into the creation of this beautiful fragrance. There can be no doubt Parfum d ́Empire represents niche perfumery at its very best!

I have recently sampled two lovely leather perfumes- this one and Cuir Velours by Naomi Goodsir. I have to say that trying Cuir Velours opened up my ability to love Cuir Ottoman. The first time I tried this scent, I didn't get it. Smelled good, but nothing special. Perhaps I was caught up in the whirl of sampling Chergui and about 10 others and my poor little olfactories were flummoxed. Anyway, I tried Cuir Velours after a short respite and it smelled like sitting on a fine leather sofa in a room were people are burning incense, smoking pipes, and drinking 20 year old scotch (not in a choking terrible way- in an opulent sensual way). Then I revisited this scent and realized that Cuir Ottoman is like putting on the fine leather jacket that was hanging in that incense and scotch-filled room and taking the atmosphere with you, while bringing the leather into sharper focus. I detect no weird notes on my skin- just leather with an ambery sweet-ish tobacco background. Love this- must buy. The price is certainly not as painful as some! Longevity is decent, but alas, I don't get much sillage with this (or anything else really, unless applied to headache- inducing levels).

Cuir Ottoman is a good example of post-modern leathery-balsamic perfumes which is very well-blended with iris to give it a powdery talcum-like aspect. The presence of styrax, tolu balsam and labdanum creates an aura which gives a light classic and earthy-dusty feel to the whole compossition and reminds me a bit of some classic and nostalgic female frags like Shalimar or Soir de Paris, but remember I'm not saying Cuir Ottoman is similar to them. Beside being leathery and powdery, due to an incense note, it is a bit smoky and dark as well. I also agree with Colin Maillard when he refers to Cuir Ottoman as "a bit like a contemporary, more transparent, glossy version of" vintage Hermes BelAmi. I should add Moschino pour Homme to this comparison as well. In general, Cuir Ottoman, except its bitter and strong opening is a soft, semi-sweet and cozy leathery-powdery perfume with a light classic texture. Although announced as a unisex perfume, I consider it as more inclined toward masculinity and the masculine side rather than feminine side. It lasts quite a long time on my skin and projects moderately for a few hours and leaves a soft trail behind itself.

This is the most plush, decadent but also elegant leather I had a pleasure to know. The opening is the most demanding part, floral but untamed and animalic. Fabulous. Then it gets smoother and smoother until it disappears. After the initial burst, sillage is moderate to intimate and longevity is impressive. I have just one rather ridiculous problem with it, it's so smooth and blends so well with my skin that after few hours I find it too linear and undemanding. I blame tonka and resins that turn this in the equivalent of white chocolate mousse. It is that decadent... I feel so petty complaining because this is beautiful. I don't understand why this little independent house is not more popular. It could appear rather conventional among other niche stuff that goes from joyously flamboyant to outrageously snobby and overpriced. This house stands out with its exceptional quality and exquisitely constructed perfumes at a very reasonable price. If you like understated quality and everyday quiet elegance, this is a house to explore.

After trying Interlude Black Iris, EP Velvet Iris, Prada L'Homme, Bois D'Argent, Glossier You, Serge Lutens Cuir Mauresque, Tuscan Leather, Ombre Leather, Givenchy Gentlemen EDP, and Alexandria Fragrances Leather Intense (apparently the best DHP 2014 clone), Cuir Ottoman is the best iris/leather fragrance I've come across, and I have trouble believing it could be topped by anything else. It's arguably my favorite leather as well, tied with ELDO Nostos. The iris here is smooth and perfectly folds into the base... oily leather and seamlessly blended amber with a hint of labdanum funk. Cuir Ottoman is a masterpiece in perfumery. It doesn't have the first-impression mass appeal of DHP 2014, but it's not really trying to be DHP, it's like a sister fragrance to it. DHP is powdery iris, smooth leather, with a mild, woody base. This has smooth iris, shiny leather, and an ambery base. If you like iris or leather, you absolutely must try this. This fragrance is actually what opened the doors to leather as a note for me.

I love leather in all its forms and settings, in real life and in perfume, so it's no surprise that I love Cuir Ottoman. It starts out with a lot of raw-edged leather, but even in the initial blast the beast is accompanied by a large retinue of sweet things. For a little while the leather and the sweet things play around in completely different corners of olfactory space, but eventually they come together and blend into a perfect harmony of leather, ripe apricot, violet, a touch of jasmine, and a good stiff dose of balsam-y things, which I also love. This stage reminds me a little of the original Rochas Femme, but sweeter and fruitier. Eventually the scent seems to be drying down into a lovely tolu balsam and benzoin base, but lo and behold, the flowers and fruit come back for an encore and last out the rest of the day and into the night. The sillage is just right for my taste (moderate) and the lasting power is excellent. If you are looking for a sweet, fruity leather fragrance, this is definitely one to try!

Absolutely stinkin' gorgeous, but a shy performer on me. Deliciously gently-sour suede, delicately earthy iris, with the resins just giving it a bit more heft and polish. Makes me go weak at the knees a bit; it just reeks of quality and restrained, yet daring perfumers doing what they know best. I am a pretty partisan Parfum d'Empire fangirl (Wazamba, Azemours, Aziyade are all absolutely outstanding in my book) but do recognise they can do things which I want to love but don't (Fougere Bengale the fenugreek horror, Corsica Furiosa too bitter-green for me) or which I love but that fall flat on my skin (Iskander). They're not infallible and this one falls somewhere between the flat-out loves and the wish-it-lasted ones. Will try again for longevity but on every other metric this is one Ottoman I would lounge on forever. One of the best leathers ever - seriously. Seems true unisex to me but you must be able to accept pretty serious tannic-sour leather and big iris or it won't work.

Classy Sexy Leather... This has such a good mix to it! The combination of leather and Iris is something that works wonders (not a new concept by far, but a good one). I love the way the aspects of the buttery iris combine with the suede, leather glove aspect. There are so many things I like about this one, and I appreciate the way it's made. The incense and styrax and labdanum all give a smoky aspect to the composition, and are sweetened by just a hint of vanilla at the end, with jasmine rounding off the edges of the fragrance and accentuating the leather. This fragrance has got me compliments. A lady demanded to know what I was wearing and why this smelled so good the first day I wore it, which was unexpected for a first time. An instant hit and not outrageously priced either. It's a wonderful fragrance. For those who enjoy fragrances with Iris-Leather combinations (the Dior Homme series, Chanel - Cuir de Russie ), you must try this. Exquisitely made.

This is a guilty pleasure scent for me. My favorite leather scent. This eclipsed my former favorite leather scent (vintage Bel Ami by Hermes) and I can't get enough of this beautiful scent. Whenever I'm wearing this perfume, I'm always caught by people around me sniffing my wrist. It's like my nose is "magnetized" by the scent on my wrist. Sometimes it's quite embarrassing when I'm in a meeting and continuously sniffing my wrist or shirt and they're asking if I'm okay. Solution? I don't wear this when I have a scheduled meeting. I will not dissect each note as previous reviewers who love this perfume have already done excellent descriptions and experiences of this scent. All I can say is, this is the epitome of luxury leather scent. This is the scent permeating inside an ultra luxurious boutique selling very refined handcrafted premium leather goods (bags, shoes, gloves, wallets/purses, card and passport holders). Premium leather scent bar none, IMO.

I had been kind of avoiding this cause its touted as an 'oriental' leather and thats not really my thing but in reality its just a smidge of vanilla in the drydown that makes this a so called 'oriental'. I think it can be positioned between Cuir Cannage, Cuir Russie and Dior Homme. Cuir de Russie still holds its place as a bitter/soapy/animalic leather while Cuir Ottoman totally improves upon the sweet Cuir Cannage and renders it redundant. The more leathers I smell the more I think that the available "space" for different leathers is really quite narrow, its really just a few old categories. Cuir Ottoman is easily the best of the suedey/plush/luxury type leathers. It's fantastic, but I kind of understand why some might be a bit let down because theres really no 'twist' to this, its just a really really good leather. Not that Im complaining. Also I dont know why but this makes me think of a blue leather, theres something blue to it.

Cuir Ottoman is my first bottle from PDE...WOW am I impressed. At first sniff the aroma of leather combined with a boozy vib makes it very luxurious and appealing to me. I ♥the deep smokey leathery aroma, after it settles a hint of velvety iris gives it a real attractive sweet creamy aroma. Both Tolu balsam and benzoin resin with a warm vib gives it THAT animalistic quality. Longevity and Silage is very high, thou it's listed as a EDP, I have to spray it 3-4 sprays...to achieve the depth lasting over 8hrs. Overall, This fragrance has to be one of the best blind purchase I've ever made!! Now that the cooler weather has arrived, I can't wait to wear it during the evening over dinner, the aroma carrying throughout and everyone looking around to see who'swearing this CLASSY fragrance. THIS IS A NO BRAINER....10/10. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐...Try it you won't regret buying it. Top picks during the winter months......
