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.

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.

I really love the smell of it.. Its very unique.. Smells sexy and classy.. I got a lot of compliments wearing this scent.

Terre D'Hermes and Vetiver Tonka mix. Very good value for money but not a beastly performer.

Vintage kinda classy cologne on men and luckily, sexy smart and cool fragrance on women.

very nice vetiver scent, can be worn by women no bother,

Actually, bought this in YR whilst buying shower gels which were on offer and go very well with some fragrances I have. All three men’s scents in this line are surprisingly good - I found the other two much more potent and robust, indeed, I wanted the amber one but my wife preferred this. The Vetiver in this is nice and natural, I detect no leather at all, however, I had been sniffing loads of different stuff so not really ideal conditions for forming a final opinion. Anyway, if fits in with my philosophy for heavily discounted frags - go heavy on the trigger, performance issues can be overcome thus... EDIT: So, I opened my box of this and it has a dark wooden cap, not the pale one that the tester had or the bottle pictured here. Maybe they ran out or something. I prefer the lighter cap but anyway. The vetiver is prominent and natural, slightly sharp and with a hint of sourness. There is a cumin vibe underpinning this green sourness, redolent of Déclaration de Cartier. It is as if Déclaration and Td’H Eau Intense Vetiver have been blended together. I takes quite some time for a freshly soaped leather note to make its appearance and when it does so it is to lift the vetiver just enough to reveal cedar wood shavings and a slight vanilla sweetness that is the tonka, but very subtle. The soapiness may well be a function of the sandalwood in there. I actually like this a lot. For me this is a little nod towards the fanboy/girl tendencies often seen in perfumery. There is a definite Jean-Claude Ellena influence going on here, a little bit of Christine Nagel too. I had no idea this is what I was going to get when I bought Cuir Vetiver. Performance is relatively subtle, it sits close to the skin but longevity is around six hours. To be honest, I am not sure I would want something like this projecting like crazy or leaving a huge trail behind me. Less is definitely more in this case. Of course, for those wanting more just go heavy on the sprays, this stuff can be picked up for the price of a round of drinks.

I received this as a gift, and I can say that it smells pretty good for my nose. I really love woody scents so this suits me very well. Opens with a blast of slightly smoky, earthy vetiver and I detect some light citruses. It is often compared to Terre'd Hermes (which is also one of my favorites) and it is easy to understand why. The same earthy vetiver vibes, but I would say it is closer to Encre Sport. Almost like a less spicy and citrusy version of that one. Drydown has soft leather, cedar and sandalwood with a bit of tonka sweetness. On the drydown it is much more softer than in the opening, but I would personally perefer this being on a sharper vetiver side rather than the soft drydown. Even so, this is a very good fragrance and it is perfect for someone who loves earthy vetiver scents but on a limited budget. Yves Rocher fragrances are also natural smelling with natural ingredients, so quality wise it is worth much more than what it is sold for. Very versatile, can pretty much go all seasons but the longevity and radiance is a bit on a lower side. I seem to get a 4 hours of longevity with 5 sprays and radiates during it's first hour. If you want a projection, go heavier with sprays (it is nearly impossible to offend anyone) and if you want it to last, you need to reapply during the day. I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10, manly and masculine woody scent without trying too hard. With a better performance this could be one of my new favorites.

Character: Close %90 or possibly %95 to Terre D'Hermes in my opinion. The remaining percentage consists of sweetness, sourness and feminine edges. Sillage: 4 sprays each wrist, and it radiates half of an arms length at best, not a single inch/centimeter more. Longevity: Keeps projecting for 4 hours, but sometimes I can smell it even after 6 hours or more. Then it becomes a skin scent. On clothes it is noticable for 5 days, you need to spray well. Gender: Starts projecting as "more male" category, the more it stays on skin, the more its feminine characteristics become noticable. In practice, I think it just stays right in the middle of the "unisex" level and "more male" level. Not one of them but just in the middle. Atomizer: small, short bursts; not good enough for the price. Occasion: indoor activities with loved one, friends, family, or by yourself - close contact is the only way for it to be noticed. For partying or office use probably would be a bad choice.

This was a blind buy for me, in the hope that it might reveal itself as something of a cut-price Vetiver Tonka (Hermes). I am delighted to report that it kinda does! Vetiver is the main event here and the leather - as others have noted - is rather subtle. I would proffer suede more than leather, because this is a soft and quiet fragrance. On the vetiver side of things it doesn't have the sharpness of say, VE by FM or, on the leather, Fahrenheit. But the tonka is very much there, especially in the heart. Before VT fans rush out to buy this (not that you necesarily would on my advice) let me make clear that this is not a GPH / Bentley Absolute type scenario... CV doesn't have the intensity of VT or the extra gourmand notes that flesh it out so beautifully BUT comparing wrist to wrist, I'd be confident in saying that if you like VT, buy this. It's well-blended, comes in a nice bottle and (in the current UK sale) costs less than a fifth of VT.

Very simplistic perfumery...opening is quite ordinary; citrus and vetiver, after 2 minutes, citrus starts to go away and base note starts to feel itself.I think there are vetiver and tonka as base notes, no heart note, only citrus as top note.Vetiver note used in here is similar to one used in Terre d Hermes and Montale red vetiver which is really lovely.But combination of vetiver with sweet Tonka is unusual but not so good. I thought that sweet vetiver might be cool but after I bought and smelled this I changed my mind. Vetiver must not be supported by sweet notes, it spoils vetiver's character. Maybe I believe there is someone who loves this. But I only like it because it is different. Longevity is ok, but sillage is below average which is logical because this synthetic tonka can give a headache if it was stronger. For this price range(30-35 dollars) It is really a great fragrance.

I bought this on a sale this summer. When I tried it for the first time, the weather was hot, dry and sunny and I could only smell the prominent sweet, almondy vibe from the tonka bean. Thus, I left it on the shelf until recently. Now, in October, when the weather is colder, more damp, leaves are turning red and yellow, this fragrance suddenly blossomed with its full power. Sweet-sour, smoky, blends well with earthy, woody accords and feels very accurate on my skin on a autumn's day here up north. It projects well for an Yves Rocher fragrance, longevity 7-8 hours at this time of year on my skin. Inoffensive, suitable for office use/work/day time scent. Update: now it’s winter here, and I get weaker longevity, around 3-4 hours, mostly a skin scent after that. Will remain my autumn darling.

This one was a recent blind buy for me based on the notes. Vetiver, Tonka, Leather, Cedar and Sandalwood, What is NOT to like in these? After receiving my bottle I gave it a full day wearing and was a bit surprised. CV is a lot lighter than I expected. It is a fresh and clean fragrance with a 1980s feel. Soft and well balanced, with moderate projection and longevity on my skin. Cheep in price, but great in quality. Definitely worth the money. This has become the scent I wear when I am going to play tennis. A fresh, light and pleasant fragrance. Bottom line: If you are looking for an affordable fresh and clean scent, you should try this one.

Genuinely surprised by this extremely well-balanced and engaging fragrance. It has an elegance and smoothness that's rare for a fragrance of this price range. It smells very 'niche' but is very accessible. Hints of incense, a very pleasant vetiver, elegantly put together and shying away from being too 'fresh' or 'light'. This is a fragrance that could start someone off on the road to more daring future choices! Yet it's very pleasant and easy to wear to the office as well. Highly recommended as a solid darker scent for day or night when you don't want to be TOO dark, but want a very 21st century serious smell.

I was tempted to try this one as people mention here this could be used as unisex. When I sprayed it on me, I got lots of sharp and edgy vetiver and my first thought was "how could anyone said that this could be unisex labeled... it's so masculine". I apologize. The drydown proved me wrong. After the vetiver settles, I get to smell some lovely tonka/leather drydown. The scent gets a bit sweeter. Sure the vetiver makes it leaning more to the masculine side of it, but yeah, as it gets sweeter, softer, more gentle, I see the point of women giving this a try. All season suitable.

Great bang for buck, silent, classy, simple. It doesn’t smell like Terre d’Hermes to me, we can’t just call any vetiver frag similar to TdH, this one doesn’t have any prominent citruses but goes to a vetiver dominant musky barbershop direction. Perhaps we can say TdH mid-drydown is similar but that one keeps citruses and sharp woods quite a while. Here though we get Vetiver, Iso E Super, tonnns of musks a la Galaxolide/Ethylene Brassylate, and coumarin, possibly Ambrox and Norlimbanol (to give the slight shaving foam note), all happening under a nice clean vetiver layer.

One of the most underrated fragrances. This fragrance really amazed me. Sonia Constant really made a very good and high-quality fragrance for very cheap (20€ for 50ml). I feel that this fragrance should appear much more in terms of it being a cheap fragrance that is not a clone (much harder to create a new fragrance than to just copy an existing one.) Similar to Terre D'Hermes but sweeter and more 'wearable'. Doesn't project much, but that makes it a very good masculine office that will be noticeable enough to get compliments.

Got a sample as one of those scented tissue packs and I haven't washed this off yet... but I won't be buying it either as it seems a bit simple/shallow and not by design. Simple blast of cedar and liquorish vetiver with quite a sweet face, linear and exactly the same on paper few hours later, but on my skin dried to a soft, pillowy woodiness. It doesn't smell particularly masculine to me (or feminine), very neutral scent but then I wear a lot of nominally masculine fragrances.

i've had this for a while being a lover of all things vetiver, tonka and leather. Most perfumes designed at women turn way too sweet or musky on my skin, up to tooth-aching levels, so i steer clear from most celebrity gourmand sh.te that is in circulation these days... Cuir Vetiver here warms up nicely, round and slightly edgy on my skin; probably compliments of the tonka. Recommended for women who feel feminine enough and don't need approval/guidence from a fragrance label :P

Starts out limey with fresh woods in the background, with a faintly soapy undercurrent, settles down to buttery gentle skin scent. If this is what Terre d' homme smells like, sign me up. Perfectly unisex. It's not the strongest performer, but I got this one because I was looking for a cheaper alternative to Parle Moi's Woody Perfecto, and this is 90% similar and has the same initial fresh pick-me up feel. Besides WP is pretty weak too, and 5 times more expensive.

Citrusy, fresh vetiver that gets more earthy and woody as it progresses. Similar in feel to Terre d'Hermes, but way cleaner. Performance is nothing to marvel at. The box holds French and English descriptions, and they differ in the mid for some reason - the French one mentions cedar with its vibrant notes ("le bois de Cedre aux notes vibrantes"), while the English one says "Sandalwood with woody and clear notes". To me, it's all about cedar and vetiver.

I sprayed only on the paper and it smelled like Encre noire. I feel fresh (citrus) vetiver, but later few hours it transforms little bit sweeter when the tonka turns out, this part is more pleasant to my nose, I enjoy well. I think women could wear Cuir vetiver also, it's enough unisex. Fits to the warmer weather in Spring or I can imagine wearing in a rainy day. Reminds me other Hermés scents also, because it has very natural feeling...

Came to me as a gift. I've used this in the last autumn, winter and spring. I don't think this is a great summer fragrance unless you live in a colder climate or spending time in an office. I can really get the spices and vanilla on this one. It was on my skin even after a day in some occasions however with not so good projection. However some people say it wears off easily so I would recommend you to not blind buy this.

I bought this for my boyfriend, but it turns out I like it on me, too. Hence, we now share the bottle lol. The leather note (kinda clean and more like suede) is more prominent on his skin, while the scent gets sweeter (almost vanillic) on mine. It always amazes me how certain perfumes smell different depending on our skin chemistry. I did not expect it to be the case on this one because it is inexpensive.

For it's price it looks and smells really good! Yves Rocher creates elegant and easy-to-use products for each and everyone, and does it in a refined and charming french way. I'm more into body care products from this brand, but if I received this fragrance as a gift, I would definitely use it with pleasure. Even the liquid colour is a beautiful touch to the image and character of this product. Well done!

Bitter-sweet is how i would describe it. I always like masculine scents. This one is masculine while VERY sweet (to the fruitier side of sweetness). A bit airy. May be some leather in it... The sweetness dies down quick enough to not hurt my nose/before a get a headache. What's left is woody, airy & sweetness. Didn't expect any for-men perfume to be this sweet. A classic for me.

Headnotes fizzy and peppery like in Terre d'Hermes , then a quiet vetiver, not a rooty one and a tender leather, nice balance between the both . It lasts rather long for a perfume so soft (similar in the basenotes of Vetiver Tonka , that's true, but a modest Vetiver Tonka ) . Nothing dark , it's a bright and casual cologne. Quite good for the price

I find this a strong vetiver with a touch of sweet leather in the background. The sweet leather is very appealing, very masculine in a soft way, rather than harsh. I would certainly find this attractive on a man. I really don't think this could be unisex, of course anyone could wear it, but it would still have the classic 'manly' smell.

I quite like this! My boyfriend has an almost empty bottle that he rarely uses anymore as it‘s been replaced by Terre d‘Hermes; so I‘ve been wearing it as it does read unisex to me and develops to be quite sweet on me. Sadly this has almost no longevity on me so I likely won‘t be buying a new bottle once this one runs out.

To me it has similarities to Terre d'Hermes but has its own personality. The tonka gives it a smooth, powdery touch to the perfume, without the "dirty orange" smell of Terre. To me the vetiver and tonka dominate the perfume I just get a little of leather, just a hint not much. Not great longetivity.

Its a clone of TDH and the main difference is this has less of the orange note in the opening and is heavier on the vetiver and woods. performance is mid, 1-3h longevity with 1h max of projection. and the quality is acceptable.

this vetiver smells great ... mixed with enough tonka to create a fantastic mixture of fresh leathery sweet class -- performs great on hot weather although I think could be use year around -- paid around 16€ for a 100ml bottle
