Who created Cuir by Yves Saint Laurent?
Cuir by Yves Saint Laurent was created by Ilias Ermenidis.
I put a like for this a while back when I first tried this line. This was always one that I expected to be good and was but moved passed it without to much of an event or fanfare. However, upon trying today I think it deserves more praise. If you love a sweet, warm oriental which in truth is more tobacco heavy than leather despite the name. It is leathery in the opening, sweetly edged, opulent and with an almost gourmand cinnamon spice of a tolu balsam, it really appeals but I like something to surprise me and it feels a little bit stock. However, as it dries down the tobacco is more dominant giving a different dimension even hints of tea and dry smoke from the tobacco accord but somehow cleaning everything up at the same time. The feel is more Miller Harris feuilles de tabac, Bertrand for L’Artisan or other blonde tobacco fragrances you might care to mention. It’s really great. Lacking the unusual edginess of my favourite of this bunch, which is Vinyl.
