Cuir Velours is a scent I’ve heard a lot about, it seems to be one of the most popular from Naomi Goodsir. Is it nice? Yes it smells great, but I can’t say I’m wowed if I’m being honest. It’s a pleasantly smooth suede scent, so smooth it almost smells buttery and creamy - which is great. There’s a gentle note of immortelle hanging about in the background, which is what adds a significant dryness to the scent - almost dusty and papery. A smoky tobacco takes this further, whilst labdanum strengthens the leathery feel. Overall it smells great, but I feel like it’s lacking something. It’s so smooth, soft and inoffensive that I find myself getting bored. This is unlike a lot of other Naomi Goodsirs I’ve tried which seem to have a running theme of something stinky and strange. It’s pleasant, but doesn’t excite me.
