Perfumes with a leather scent are very unique and intriguing, and not everyone can afford to wear them. Leather absorbs all the warmth and pleasant memories, carefully storing them within its depths, allowing them to emerge only when its multifaceted aroma is inhaled. Despite being trendy, leather-scented perfumes have not lost their aura of exclusivity and aristocracy. Inspired by this, Mona di Orio crafted her enchanting Cuir perfume, encased in a simple yet elegant bottle.
The initial notes of Mona di Orio Cuir present a warming and intoxicating blend of absinthe and cardamom. As the fragrance unfolds, it reveals a vibrant duet of leather and fresh juniper, smoothly transitioning into a balsamic, sweet-spicy syrup of opoponax and castoreum. The aroma envelops you, evoking a surge of emotions and a kaleidoscope of associations. Mona di Orio Cuir is perfect for bold and deserving men and women who create an aura of mystery and mysticism, concealing their deep nature behind a facade of apparent aggressiveness.
Today a young man pointed out to me that I smell like the perfumes from the 90s. I was at a loss for words. I stood there, racking my brain trying to think of which perfume from the 90s I might resemble, but nothing came to mind. While I was pondering this, he added that I also smell like leather, with all the charms of a shoemaker's workshop.
As the perfume develops, it becomes more delicate, with hints of greenery and an animalic scent, reminiscent of wet, animal fur. It's like when you wet a wool sweater, but even more intense and animal-like.
I realized that this fragrance is completely not for me.
It often happens this way. You read reviews, draw conclusions from them, thinking that this particular fragrance is what you've been missing and it will be the embodiment of your desires, but as always, it turns out differently.
- Purely feminine fragrance for those over 50.
- There is no usual/traditional leather note at all.
- There is a hint of suede-like scent (similar to the masculine Baldessarini Ultimate).
- In fact, we have "smoked black plum" with opoponax as a background.
Unjustifiably expensive, subtle, and unnoticeable perfume. The delivery was prompt, thank you.
I really hope that this is indeed a different bottle. But there is no certainty, especially considering the fact that there is only one bottle. I purchased this fragrance and returned it due to a defect! My bottle had a problem with the sprayer. The cap simply didn't stay on the bottle. Additionally, the top of the cap, in glossy black color, was covered in small micro-scratches. Be careful when purchasing this fragrance.
