Yes, its straight forward and yes it doesn’t create anything new or totally exciting … but that doesn’t mean it isn’t straight up beautiful. A skanky, authentic natural leather with violets and saffron. The violet is truly stunning here … Dior if the Cuir Cannage was more natural. But not, spicy and new. Modern. Ancient. Something very comforting here.
The Fantasy – :
The other day a colleague asked me to drive her to riding school. When we entered the stable, I was in seventh heaven: Horses (love animals) and the amazing scent of leather, manure and hay, combined with the warm, mellow fragrance of horse fur. I could happily sit there and just inhale for hours. Now, all this inspired me to try my sample of Rania J’s Cuir Andalou, which has been tucked away in a drawer for some time.
First of all, it might be good to know that I bought the sample set directly from Rania J’s website. The samples were very nicely presented, with a personal greeting from Rania J, in true Andy Tauer style. Loved it! But what about the scent? Well, Cuir Andalou was somewhat disappointing to me. The notes that consistently stand out on my skin are leather and oud. I was hoping for something that would become slightly skanky, animalic and manure-like (an odd wish, perhaps), but this was so clean. This to me is leather that has not been used, sitting on oud that is almost soapy, if that makes any sense. Could that be a result of the sandalwood? I do not get the floral elements and very little of the saffron.
After 5-6 hours, Cuir Andalou is a skin scent, but it is still there after some 8 hours. I agree with the reviewer who experienced this as a fairly linear fragrance; however, I must say that the final skin scent phase is the most pleasing to me since this is where I pick up a hint of the skank I was looking for to begin with.
Malax – :
Serviceable, naturalistic, pretty simple and linear leather. Oddly uninspired compared with other Rania J’s I’ve tried – just seems a bit pale and one-dimensional compared to some of the brand’s astonishing, overbearing, deeply delicious zingers (Ambre Loup, Yasmin Khama, Oud Assam).
I got hardly any spicing or florals here; the leather somehow halfway between sweet suede and tannic rawhide, neither one extreme not the other. So it’s quality stuff, but felt just a bit ‘meh’ – and its ultimate downfall is in the longevity, on me a pitiful 2-3h before there was just nothing left. Not at all bad, but a miss overall.
Rashidos – :
Soft sweet yet masculine leather.
It’s kind of new leather to me, although the saffron is there but it’s not sour or sharp. The iris, violet mix is quite amusing, and i am sensing incense as well, roses, and black pepper, but no castoreum.
It’s kind of a soft smokey leather yet new, so you can sense the harshness whiffs.
diego 380 – :
A bunch of notes that shouldn’t work together but are blended well around the leather, oud, musk combo, feels like it’s from another era of perfumery though I can’t pinpoint which. I also can’t pick out the oud or castoreum which is what I came for so if you’re hoping for something oudy and animalic this one is much more refined but I’m not disappoint, a lot if not all naturals evident in the dry down.
LeneCaniLoons – :
Stunning leather fragrance, complex, full of colour and class. We are seeing a few smell-alike references in these reviews – I actually feel this fragrance references Chanel’s mighty Antaeus. In fact, I expect the stunning castoreum note to slowly climb to be one of the top 3 notes. Very easy to wear and a must-have for leather aficionados like myself.

میزان علایق و گستره دوست داشتن یک عطر چرمی برای من پهنه وسیعی رو از تنفر تا بی تفاوتی، و از بی تفاوتی تا شیفتگی رو شامل میشه که بعضا عطرهایی در این زمینه بنده رو شگفت زده میکنن که ممکنه معیارهای چرمی اونها در پایین ترین سطح ممکن باشه.
بذارید منظورم رو واضح تر عرض کنم: همون اندازه که چرم چرکین و دودی خسته کننده لواشکی و زعفرانی مشمئز کننده برام غیر قابل تحمله، در نقطه مقابل، در سطحی نزدیک به شیفتگی؛ از فضای تاریک، دودی، خاکستر گرفته و بارون زده برخی از عطرها لذت می برم که ممکنه چرمی باشن و ممکن هم هست اینچنین نباشه! حالا عطر “کویغ آندالو” برای من عطریه که در بین این دو حس قرار می گیره و به همون اندازه که نه لواشک چرکین زعفرانی هست و نه خاک بارون خورده دودی و شگفت انگیز؛ به همون اندازه هم نمیدونم که نسبت بهش بی تفاوت باشم یا به عنوان یه پیشنهاد بگم که عطر بدی نیست! خلاصه کلام اینکه تست کویغ آندالو تجربه ویژه ای بود و احساسات معلق نا مشخصی که از همراهی این عطر داشتم، باز هم تجربه ویژه ای بود!
داستان این تجربه جدید از یک شروع انیمالیک و چرکین خشک و سرسخت آغاز میشه که خیلی زود با لایه هایی دودی تاریک و غلیظ از وتیور آتش گرفته پوشونده میشه. چرم دودی خشک سرسخت و نامنعطف با لایه های چوبی خودش بعد از مدتی زعفران رو در کنار خودش می بینه که این چرم زعفرانی برام کمی قابل تحمل تر از هم خانواده های لواشکی نازپرورده ی خودش هست. دلیلش هم اون سرسختی و تاریکی مضاعفشه که جای بوی شربت و میوه و لواشک رو گرفته. تا مدتها عطر در همین فضای خشک و دودی چرمی-زعفرانی سِیر میکنه تا به آرومی پس زمینه ای از عود به کار وارد میشه تا چرم رانیا جی رو به سوی فضایی سوق بده که برام مطلوب و خوشایند هست. ترکیبی تاریک که در توهمی شیرین، حسی اسرار آمیز، خاکی و خاکستری به خودش می گیره. عود، پچولی و نوتهای چوبی که چرم زعفرانی رو محاصره میکنن و از اون، خشکی تاریکی باقی میذارن که با دم اسرار آمیز خودشون؛ تاریکتر و عمیق ترش میکنن. تاریکی عمیقی که با اونچه مد نظرم هست فاصله داره، اما از نیمه ی آغازین کار جلوتر هست.
کمی جلوتر از تنفر، در منطقه ای سرگردان که به سمت بی تفاوتی مایله؛ “کویغ آندالو” تا حدودی خودش رو به فضای مورد علاقه ام نزدیک میکنه اما باهاش فاصله داره و به عطری تبدیل میشه که در ذهنم و احساسم؛ سرگردان و بلاتکلیفه! میتونه واسه خیلی از عزیزان خوشایند و محبوب باشه؛ نظرشون محترمه و با خیال راحت می تونن به انتخابش فکر کنن. موندگاری 8 تا 9 ساعته با پخشی متوسط داره.

It ‘a scent that closely resembles Oud Immortel Byredo.
The difference is that the original is well balanced, with a sweet aftertaste and is an original fragrance. This here is instead the draft with a chemical aftertaste of mold.
Such things say much on “Artistic perfumery”, and the lack of creativity. why make a fragrance that already exists?
To avoid, absolutely.

As Rania’s work lover, I’ve been so disappointed by this.
This is a calm, flat, obvious floral leather scent, refined but dull. Not the vibrant imprinting of her Amber, Oud or Tabac, neither the elegant originality of her Jasmine or Lavande44.
DO not misunderstand, this is very fine, but… no emotions here.
This is a pleasant, safe and forgettable leather fragrance for office and warm seasons.
Edit: after two hours, something animalic luckly emerges, but still… nothing else worth to be mentioned.
slavakvs – :
quite an animalic, leathery oud-saffron combo that, to be honest, feels played out.
i’ve smelt this before, many times in fact, and it doesn’t really inspire all that much.
what it does, it does well, but it’s been done before…
mels – :
The opening of this scent is a bit frightening. It’s a dry, dusty, gasoline like leather, quite different from the usual (e.g. Tom Ford). After about an hour it settles down to a low roar. I can smell leather, dust, oud, and gasoline (violet). It’s an interesting, but challenging fragrance.
cristofer – :
This is wonderful! The best Leather I think I’ve ever tried, paired with the cleanest, strongest Oud.
The under tones of Violet & Rose are stunning, I don’t get the Patchouli or Saffron as individual notes…more sense them as part of the beautifully blended whole.
I know Leather & Oud have been over exploited to some peoples’ noses, but this is a whole new ballgame,by adding Vetiver & Sandalwood this sails above the crowd. 10/10.
