Cuir Extrême

Cuir Extrême - Thierry Blondeau A beautiful leather scent. If you like Xerjoff Homme, you will also like this one. The birch brings a strong leather accord. There is something here that reminds me ink, painted wood, furniture. Patchouli here is very tamed and camphorated. The other notes i could not detect and I don't think I missed them all. I cannot see too much complexity here... and I don't think it was planned. It has quality, makes sense to its name and has a good price. Also it seems to be very niche and rare to find It develops around a well done incense, not an overpowered one. Just a background incense, making space for the leather to control and take over the evolution. I would say it is very strong and not like other leathers we can see around there. Again... for the good price and quality, I would recommend this to friends. :)

Fragrances like Cuir Extreme were made two years ago and may be technicaly improved in the following years, because I'm progressing and I may want it to be better. At the time, Cuir Extreme has to be worn in a "Chaman way", like a fumigation "per fumare". It's more a "skin smell" of a person than a parfum with sillage, like it is the use in middle east with oud wood, that historicaly gives a smell to the skin, before beeing used and abused in fragrances ! For the other fragrances of the range, only Jessy's Rose will remain, Alea and Narcisse will be sold before desepearing. A new fragrance is coming soon, certainly in Octobre 2016. Sand, almond, aromatic herbs and leather are the main notes !

Thank you Thierry - I am looking forward to trying them all!
