Cuir Fetiche, from Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier was released in 2011. The perfumer behind this creation is Jean-Paul Millet Lage. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Geranium, Lemon, and Mandarin Orange, middle notes of Iris, Jasmine, Leather, Rose, Vanilla, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Amber, Cedarwood, Musk, Patchouli, and Sandalwood.
I get the connections to tabac blond ad Cuir canage but I'd say it's like a subtle, more elegant Knize ten. Also Creed's royal english leather gets a mention in the smells like, well I think the commonality here is the floral, leather base the wonderful waxy Cuir 17500. Now I'm not saying that it is definitely present, but it has the same creamy, orangeblossom/jasmine/ylang waxiness, and fleshy, smooth, iris, leather, quality which that base possesses. Any iteration and augmentation of this vibe, fascinates me. I find this to be floral but nowhere near as brutal ad full on as the Dior, neither is it Knize ten with it's masculine, soapier appeal. Cuir fetiche goes off in search of new ground and is largely successful at finding it in the shape of a more powdery feel than anything I've easily compared it to above. The fact that I don't find it redundant, and the change between opening and drydown is noticeable, (handy in this sort of fragrance) means that this is a winner for me. Another good outing from the house.
