* Cuir Fetiche starts with smoky, dark citrus. That sounds odd – but imagine tangerines and bergamot being barbecued.
* Although dressed in a leather corset, Cuir Leather smells as good on guys as it does on gals.
* The smoke continues as the leather starts to come in with a dry rose accent.
* Each time I wear this it smells a little differently. Sometimes the leather is stronger and other times the smoke gets a bit overwhelming.
* A blend of musk and patchouli give the drown a sexy and animalic feel. Its a little dirty and a little naughty, but not filthy.
Summary: If you are looking for a smoky leather fragrance, Cuir Fetiche will be a great one to try. Definitely skin test this, because it comes across a lot sweeter on a blotter card then it does on skin. Cuir Fetiche has good projection for the first hour and then becomes a skin scent which lasts more than 8 hours. I like Cuir Fetiche a lot, moreso than other classic leathers like Knize Ten or Cuir de Russie.
Cuir Fetiche is available from Lucky Scent, Aedes de Venustas, Henri Bendel, and other independent niche stores that carry the MPG line.
