About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Yves Saint Laurent Cuir (2016) is a unisex leather fragrance built on a stark, resinous foundation. The opening is boozy and spiced: rum and saffron meet a sharp slice of ginger, creating a dry, almost medicinal heat. As it settles, tobacco and black tea add a smoky, tannic depth, while osmanthus threads a faint leathery-apricot nuance through the heart. The base is uncompromising—leather, guaiac wood, and agarwood (oud) fuse into a dense, animalic warmth that lingers for hours.

Collectors who favor raw, unpolished leathers will appreciate its linear intensity; those seeking a soft, floral leather should look elsewhere. The 100% leather accord dominates, supported by woody, tobacco, and rum facets. It suits cool weather and evening wear, and works especially well on skin that amplifies resins. For a 2016 release, it remains a niche-leaning statement within the YSL line—best sampled before committing to a full bottle.

中文簡介

Yves Saint Laurent Cuir(2016)係一款中性皮革香水,以蘭姆酒、番紅花同生薑開場,酒香同辛香交織,帶出乾燥而微藥感嘅熱度。中調煙草、紅茶同桂花,煙燻茶感中滲出淡淡皮革同杏桃氣息。基調皮革、癒創木同沉香(烏木)堆疊出濃郁動物感,留香持久。整體皮革主導,木質、煙草同蘭姆酒氣息鮮明,適合秋冬夜晚使用,尤其啱鍾意原始、未修飾皮革調嘅收藏家。建議先試香再入手。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
