Les Indémodables | Cuir de Chine | Eau de Parfum
Created by perfumer Florence Fouillet Dubois, Cuir de Chine is an ethereal, "botanical" exploration of leather. Rather than the typical dark, smoky hide, this fragrance captures a "silk leather", inspired by an imaginary journey through China. It centers on the Osmanthus flower, which naturally possesses the aroma of sun-ripened apricots and soft suede. This is a fragrance of textured elegance, designed for those who appreciate a skin-scent that feels like a luxurious, velvet-soft wrap. Using "Grand Cru" extracts, it offers a realistic, high-fidelity experience of the raw materials.
