Description
The fashion house of Givenchy presents a new exclusive collection called L’ Atelier de Givenchy, which contains seven fine fragrances made from rich raw ingredients that evoke the Givenchy fashion creations and materials. Each fragrance is accompanied by a special fashion sketch. The scents are: Ambre Tigré, Bois Martial, Cuir Blanc, Chypre Caresse, Néroli Originel, Oud Flamboyant and Ylang Austral.
Cuir Blanc is inspired by leather gloves, the original subject of design of Givenchy house, and as such it represents the embodiment of French luxury. The composition includes accords of white leather, white pepper and white musk.
The fragrances are available as 100 ml Eau de Parfum .
Cuir Blanc was launched in 2014.

This starts with a whiff of fresh and masculine pepper.
For a few minutes it has brought me back to the nineties and Versus by Versace …
Strange because with this only has in common the note of musk! …!
After about 5 minutes peeps the note of belly skin.This is light, smooth, not white but….transparent!
This scent remains comfortable, calm, disengaged perceptibly at times and vaguely for the wearer but present and intricate for those around you.
A good smell that spreads well on but not very addictive by the wearer.
Not bad because the smell of leather here is good, unusual and wearable even during the hot seasons and hot weather but I find it more suitable as a leather base on which to experiment.
Expensive experiments…
Alone Cuir Blanc is like driving a Porsche with the brake hand-pulled …
More masculine than feminine.
Daytime,good for the office.

It is interesting how Cuir Blanc exemplifies a way for you to innovate today in perfumery, which is the exercise of translating olfactory combinations from one audience to another. There are few people who risk using what escapes from what the brands define for their sex and so it is possible to sell a typically masculine idea, such as Cuir Blanc, to a female audience.
Givenchy defines Cuir Blanc as avant-garde, which only makes sense if you think of woody leather scents aimed at the female audience. In this context, it is exactly what it promises to be: a perfume that explores the purity of white, in this case under the optics of white pepper, musks with a white aura and a leather accord that to become white tends to an aroma of suede.
In the skin, the drier touch of the pepper contrasts with the scent of leather, which lies between the suede and a lightly rubbery leather. There is something that gives a certain boozy sweetness that sometimes comes quickly to Lubin’s Idole, but does not last long. The musks hold the scent on the skin, with a soft aura, a little incense and woody.
Too much focus on white makes me think that color is capable of both purity and emptiness, and a certain manic aspect as well. Perhaps if the brand had dared to explore this darker aspect the perfume would indeed be avant-garde as they promise, but in practice we are faced with a scent of leather that goes from the the opening to the drydown without much body, For the male audience, there is a certain deja-vu in the perfume, but for the feminine there is a certain factor of novelty in the composition.

The leather in this is more a white suede on me and disintegrates after a few minutes on my skin. I am left with a nose tickling white pepper and even that disappears quickly until I am left with nothing in under 20 minutes. It’s entirely possible that I am anosmic to several notes in this fragrance as I am hyper-sensisitive to the musk in Ambre Tigré.

Sophisticated leather fragrance, sexy and ladylike at the same time. This scent really makes a statement. If you like bold perfume, try it! I’d put it on my want list if its base notes didn’t turn sour on my skin. Leather rarely agrees with my chemistry, I am afraid.

This is a masculine smelling perfume (and sadly it could be accused of being rather generic – as seemingly there are a lot of perfume producers jumping on the rose/oud bandwagon), it reminds me of a less impressive but still rather good interpretation of By Killian’s Musk Oud. The incense notes do not share the same oomph as BKMO but it is pleasant all the same and it does possess a lovely bitter burnt sugar note that is rather lovely and I admit it is a lot less rosy that BKMO but there are striking similarities. I much prefer this offering to the Chypre Caresse by Givenchy as I do like masculine fragrances. I rather think this will be something that grows on me, it has potential and it is rather sexy.
