Cuir Vetiver

Have 2 bottles of this sitting in the cupboard so finally took one out to test. Been months... Younger brother of Hermes Tdh. It should be named Tdh Light or another eau fraiche flanker. It is less cirtusy than Tdh but the whole complete dna is there. You take the iso e ladened tdh add tonka bean to make it sweeter and a clean Vetivet. It isn't a complicated scent profile as it consist mainly of Haitian Vetiver, cedar, sandalwood, leather and tonka bean. There's no citrus or dirty orange here thou but you get abit of sour here. This makes it fresh, sweet and sourish. I don't get the leather here, maybe it's too soft. It's mainly the blend of Good quality Haitian Vetiver, sweetish tonka bean and a very Good creamy sour sandalwood aroma that's giving you this nice sourish aroma. This comes from Under rated house Yves Rocher and the nose behind this is Master Perfumer Sonia Constant. The lady who came up with numerous very good rated frags that counts TFOL, TF Noir Extreme, Narciso Rodriguez For Him Bleu Noir, Moonlight Patchouli) which are scent profiles I'm more familiar with. This cost less than a blue note and is often cheaper on special sales occasion, A good bottle to have on hand if you love Vetiver or want to try another tdh like cheap flanker or a light version of Encre Noir Environmental conscious users may also note that this scent uses 93% ingredients from natural origin and only alcohol from botanical origin. Verdict: 8.5/10 for a Vetiver frag. 9.5/10 for value and quality A Vetiver fan must have

I purchased this fragrance because I really enjoy the smell of vetiver and also of leather. In Cuir Vetiver, the leather is so extremely subtle; almost imperceptible but it is there. However, it's the vetiver that shines here. It's not overpowering but it come across as smooth and even, staying in the foreground until the drydown when the leather starts to make its presence felt. This is also where the tonka bean comes into the mix but it is too subtle to really notice. Cuir Vetiver reminds me of Montale's Red Vetiver but whereas Red Vetiver is a powerhouse for a vetiver-based fragrance, Cuir Vetiver lacks when it comes to sillage and longevity. On my skin, it lasted about 2-3 hours and its sillage was somewhere around 1 foot/30cm from my body. If Yves Rocher ever produced an Extreme version of this, I'd jump on it in a sec. As for who this is for, I'd say either someone, male or female, who is 30+ or someone who simply wants to feel a little more sophisticated. It's not a clubbing scent nor a particularly romantic fragrance but for the price, it's an enticing purchase.

I bought this juice and was shocked how much it smelt like Terre Hermes...WOW! Considering everything, this juice is decent quality at a fraction of the price. There's definitely a smig more Vetiver which helps to clam the sweetness from Tonka bean. The only thing that puzzles me is the name! Definitely Vetiver, what happened to the Cuir(leather)? There's just enough spicy notes to keep this juice more masculine rather than unisex. There's woman who enjoy wearing more masculine vib. Longevity and Silage is moderate overall lasting between 4-6hrs several spray's. Finally, Really..so what if there's no leather! I enjoy using the fragrance as is. What I believe happened was that Tonka bean killed any vib of leather coming through. On the other hand if Rocher tried to tweek this juice and decided to go for it and create a more robust leather base version..keeping the main notes the same..I believe it would be a homerun! 8.5/10. EXCELLENT VALUE! !!!

Chimera (Sonia Constant, 2016) Scentrack: Morrissey - Everyday is like Sunday Cuir Vetiver is composed with utter imagination, a very modern, and a substantial fragrance. It’s inoffensive, easy to wear, clean, and sweet but very cleverly avoids the banality of today’s mass products. Imagine the ISO E Super cedar skeleton of Terre d’Hermes, broadened by the natural nutty aspect of Tonka bean and clean green vetiver. Like Ellena decided to make a more natural version of Terre d’Hermes with a nutty element of Vetiver Tonka. The vetiver is clearly present, but unfortunately, I expected more leather (cuir). I can only imagine a soft suede accord, made mostly of Tonka bean. Tonka is really pronounced in Cuir Vetiver, thus lovers of Mugler’s Pure Tonka could take this fragrance into consideration for Mugler’s summer version. Scentimentalwords

Yves Rocher seems to bring the quality and depth at a decent price point, and Cuir Vetiver is no exception. The leather is really just a subtle supporting note as this is primarily vetiver and tonka, with some woody radiance and even an incense impression in the dry down. I appreciate that it is a sweeter, softer alternative to far more earthy, grassy, or citric vetivers that are currently in my arsenal (Guerlain, Carven, Terre d'Hermes, etc). While softer, it is however, substantive, lasting six plus hours and hovering a couple feet from the skin in the most pleasant manner. Quite nice!

Still love to wear this fragrance from time to time, woody, creamy, I prefer this above TDH, maybe because of the tonka bean and it's a bit less citrusy than TDH - my first bottle is from 2016 and second is from 2022 and both are very potent - has great longevity and also a good sillage - apparently it's discontinued now, another great Yves Rocher fragrance which is discontinued I like to wear from time to time is Comme une Evidence pour Homme - I have the old square bottle, got numerous times compliments wearing it

This, this right here, is its own scent.......not like, a clone or sorta-like, but a masculine aroma that is a great companion during all seasons but mostly in the warmer time of year. This DOES NOT have the flint-like note that Hermes' Terre contains, making it much more of a friendly scent. Vetiver and beautiful citrus, it's what you wear , along with that nice linen or seersucker suit in the high heat or casual evenings. Rock this and wear it with confidence gentlemen!

This has a potential of an "underrated classic" Classic, chic, versatile and great value opens with a blast of vetiver (and I believe a very light hint of bright citrus, possibly bergamot), then tonka-leather combination, carrying the leather all the way to the end. straightforward vetiver essential for all vetiver lovers out there, a bit different from your typical vetiver scent. the vetiver note does remind me of Encre Noire. Very nice, very versatile, very pleasant.

This is gorgeous, a hidden gem, who could expect that skin care company could make such wonderful perfume? I couldn't take it seriously until i decided to buy it for a discount, in fact i used so many discounts at the same time, they decided to replace a wood cap with plastic cap instead, i got upset at first but anyway (or maybe they changed the cap because of inflation and wanted to maintain a relevant price)

My go-to for the office, year round, although it can use some encouragement in winter. At its best around 15-20°C, just like me :D A gorgeous, clean, dry vetiver with just enough leather to make it cozy and approachable - if you ever need to make a pleasant impression without being obtrusive, this is for you, regardless of gender. A true customer service scent, but layers easily for going out after the shift.

گفتنی ها در خصوص کویغ وتیور گفته شده ، اگر دنبال عطر امضاء برای محیط های رسمی ، قرار های کاری و جلسات اداری هستید این یکی از بهترین گزینه هاست ، وقتی عطرهای اینچنینی به راحتی مچ عطرهای گرانقیمت رو می خوابونن به این فکر فرو می رم که تا به حال بهای سنگینی صرفا بابت برندینگ یا برچسب جعلی ِ نیش پرداخت کردم و این باعث می شه هر چه بیشتر در انتخاب عطر دقت به خرج بدم امتیاز من به کویغ وتیور 9 از 10

Inexpensive little gem of a vetiver here that's been blended with some real finesse. Ingredients smell surprisingly natural for what I imagine wasn't the most generous of budgets, and it has a delightful texture. To me it smells more "creamy" than sweet and has a delicate smoky-suede texture. I liken it to a hybrid of TdH and Vetiver Tonka...really quite nice for the price!

A personal favorite! To me it smells incredibly manly : very similar to terre d'hermes, and strangely also ambre noir of the same designer, although technically the notes should smell very different. In my opinion ambre noir is a bit more warm, well, like ambre. Cuir vetiver is more sharp and cold, which imho makes it more masculine though.

I personally cannot detect any leather in this. IMO this is an exceptionally pleasant and versatile fragrance. The vetiver is not overly pronounced (ie. rather dry, not too sour). There's quite a lot of sweetness. Very good wearability. Unfortunately doesn't last long, so I wouldn't pay the full 50€ / 100ml for it.

Almost bought this impulsively, then waited and got it 50% off at 35$ CAN. Delicious opening, relatively similar dry-down. It's like a bouquet of woodsy notes, slightly sour, almost has a camping lemongrass aroma to it. Potent, and stable. Medium sillage, medium longevity. This might just become my new signature.

I got a sample in the mail today. The smell is really impressive. The leather is soft and gentle. The vetiver is also soft. The fragrance feels very balanced, no sharp edges. It is aimed to men but I think it feels very unisex. Wonderful! Can ́t stop smelling my wrist. Good work Yves Rocher. :)

Amazing fragrance, smells similar to Terre d'hermes but less citrusy. Very classy and addicting smell. Performance wise its not the best. Solid 5 - 6 hours on the skin and moderate projection. Picked a 100ml bottle up for only 25$, so its a great deal. Especially for the smell

this was a blind buy for me and I absolutely love it - it has become one of my favourites - a cheap alternative for Hermes though I think the YR version is stronger and better than Hermes - if I put some on my hand I can't stop smelling my hand - this is a so lovely smell

An absolute beauty... Elegant and warm, an Alcantara leather jacket with a bundle of vetyver roots stashed away in the inside pocket. Hard to find now.

Actually, this smells very good, the leather is very subtle and not offensive but the fragrance seems to be very light, like the price.
