By the editors · 2 min readCuir d'Ange begins with heliotrope and violet, both note names suggesting powder, but here arriving almost dry — the aldehydes give them a cool metallic edge. Leather emerges in the heart, but this is not the leather of tanneries; it is pale and abstract, more surface than depth. Hawthorn brings its characteristic almond-animalic note, and narcissus adds a green floral quality that keeps the composition from collapsing into mere suede. The base is simply musk — clean and restrained. The result is leather treated as a veil rather than a statement.
