If you wonder what Creed’s Royal English Leather smells like, you probably won’t find anything closer. I can’t tell the difference between this and the sample of REL I got a hold of a year ago. This is the same scent that King George III ordered back in the late 1700’s. Very regal and very antique.

A lovely iris/leather scent. If you normally steer clear of any scents with leather or animalic notes then do try this. I can’t imagine anyone disliking this. I guess I can understand why some feel a bit disappointed. If you were expecting a dense leather led scent then yes, this could be underwhelming.
This is a very wearable sensual fragrance. Warm, care of the amber. It does become more leather dominated with time but the floral notes still keep it genteel.
I get good longevity and moderate sillage.

I finally get m’y hand on Cuir fétiche and was lucky to find the bottle with the red leather lace top. It’s such a nice clin d’oeil to the name of the perfume. Cuir fétiche is classy and a little bit powdery. With such a name I was expecting something wilder but I like it.

Cuir Fetiche is the first leather perfume I ever smelled, probably around 2011. It really kicked off a HUGE love of mine. I know there are more “dangerous” leather scents out there, and I’ve heard grumblings that this one hardly lives up to it’s moniker, or it’s red leather corset (not pictured on the bottle on Fragantica). But that’s okay with me, I really love it. This is perfect on a rainy chilly day. Today it started off very leathery, irisy, deep citrus and powdery, and it gradually settled into a soft spun sugar, almost like marshmallows toasting on a campfire (not at all unlike By the Fireplace). I kept getting wafts of it all day, wondering where that pretty smell was coming from, but then I realized it was me all along. Sprayed conservatively, this is A-okay for an office in my opinion. I used to think I loved Cuir de Lancome more but I after today I think it’s just as good. This leans feminine but I think a man could wear this, too.

leather leather leather and light, sweet, little hint of floral; one of the top three leather frags that I own
Bennito – :
Rschmidt’s review below is spot on. I will go further and suggest that the iris is a continuation or even part of the leather accord. True enough, after an hour it largely stands alone to carry the leather theme. Iris often accompanies leather accords to soften them, to provide that luxurious suppleness that we expect in luxury leathergoods. It is a gorgeous fragrance, another great outing by MPG.
Gwenbleid – :
This is such a gorgeous fragrance. I think my skin must amplify the iris and eat the leather because the leather on me lasts less than an hour and the iris lasts forever. I can smell it strongly on sweaters weeks later. It’s a beautiful, fruity, sweet iris with a hint of that make up aspect but without any hint of powder. Definitely a “your skin but better” kind of thing.
To me this is primarily an iris fragrance, not a leather. I think it disappoints many because the name raises expectations the fragrance doesn’t fulfill. (Do not google the name – you will end up looking at weird rubber bondage wear that you can’t unsee.)
I’ve been wearing it compulsively all week.
kelashask – :
The glove leather and the iris are a perfect combination, kind of a lipstick and upscale leather appeal. The vanilla and the amber keep it accessible and wearable, the ylang ylang, jasmine, and rose keep it very grown up and classy, the musk and the sandalwood keep it sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy. Loving this!
bolshoy1408 – :
I absolutely love this great blind buy; leather leather leather and light, sweet, little hint of floral. It projects, it lasts and it is sexy.

I tested it on paper, and unfortunately the only notes I picked up on were leather and ashtray. I’ll see how it develops on my skin and edit later.

مفهوم النيش في عالم العطور دائما ما يصيبنىا بالحيرة والتفاؤل معا ، كذلك تجهيز مقابل مادى مرتفع لجلب عطر يتميز “بالفخامة “والتفرد” ، حيث غالبية العطور النيشية تبدأ ببطاقة سعر 100 دولار فما فوق.
عطرنا لليوم هو عطر كيور فيتيش من دار ماتيي بيرفيوم او ماستر برفيوم ، اشهر عطورهم هو عطر العنبر الثمين او امبر بيريشوس.
من خلال التسمية وشكل القنينة توقعت عطر جلدى يلبى طموحات عشاق هذه النوتة المتوازنة الجميلة.في الحقيقة مكوناته توحى بالفخامة من خلال مراجعتى لوصف النوتات في فراجرانتيكا وهى بالمناسبة حسب حاسة شمى المتواضعة لاتوصف العطر ابدا.
العطر له افتتاحية فلورية رائعة بالفعل ممزوجة قليلا بالتبغ (السجائر) تذكرنى بعطر فيرزاتشي ذا دريمر مع تداخل السيدر او خشب الأرز ولمسة من الحمضيات وابرة الراعى(الجرانيوم).اجمل مراحل العطر حقيقة حيث تتبادل هذه النوتات الادوار بتمازج رائع.
تظهر لنا في القاعدة نوتة عنبرية مردها الى صمغ الابدانوم مع لمسة انمالك (الكاستريوم) اعطتنا هذا الإحساس بنوتة الجلود ، يستقر في النهاية على المسك وخشب الصندل.قاعدة العطر شبيهة بعطر
Rose De Taif
عطر جميل ولكنه يفتقد للشخصية وضعف هندسة النوتات.الثبات والفوحان (ضعيف جدا) فوحانه لايتعدى بضعة سنتمترات وثبات العطر لايتجاوز ساعة واحدة فقط وبعدها لا اثر للعطر.ربما شتاءا مع 10 رشات او اكثر قد يصمد قليلا.
لم تنجح هذه الدار للاسف باخراج هذا العطر بالصورة المطلوبة حسب رأيي الشخصي. 5.5/10 ، هناك الكثير من الخيارات المماثلة التي تلبي الغرض مثل الجلود العثمانية لبرفيوم امباير كمثال.
لاينصح بشراؤه اطلاقا نظرا لسعره المرتفع.الا اذا اردت الاستمتاع برائحة طيبة لمدة نصف ساعة.

White soft genuine gloves leather, gentle and clean, and i guess it was washed before exposed! elegant and bossy that belongs to Rayna Boyanov! and surprisingly at the same time it could belong to a 25 years old Harry Hart (a.k.a Galahad)!
amazingly polished! i mean blended!
the first spray shows the powerful of that bubbly soapy leather that gives the impression of a shady white-off white-paige elegant leather of a gentleman-lady gloves who comes out onto the runway from a brand new shiny white Rolls Royce Ghost with a black interior wearing a slim white suit for the man with a white fur, white top hat, & a fancy cane or over the knee tight Red dress, overhead mesh black scarf, a sun glasses, & high heeled shiny shoes walking towards his-her private jet.
this scene is what the top note of this fragrance presents, the leather citrus clean soap note.
As it calms down a bit, the ylang ylang starts to show up with the Jasmine, and few more spices which i guess the patchouli presents which hintly reminds me of “Je Suis Un Homme” by “ELDO” on this specific stage.
This stage is quite interesting as it shows up the bubbly sparkling citrus fireworks leather effect! kind of wierd but i guess the firwork effect is presented as a slight burnt essence that i can hintly smell within this stage and from a far distance. this fragrance is never gender classified as it could belong to a bossy elegant lady or a handsome elegant gentleman. perfectly made.
JoeyYQ – :
This is the most feminine leather scent I’ve ever smelled. To me a point of interest is that the leather is subtle, very subtle. If you had a silk handbag that was lined in kid leather it would be that kind of leather–a whiff, a sensation when you opened the bag. The fruit is definitely present but is not sweet at all; the sandalwood is what ties the notes together. As much as I love this, there’s a fatal flaw–the longevity is terrible, less than two hours. This is just too expensive to reapply that often (unless you’re a perfume model and have an erotic reaction every time someone catches you in the act of applying scent) so I will not be being another bottle now that I’ve drained mine. C’est triste.
Sillage–arm’s length
Longevity–the life of a Mayfly
Fabulosity–Loubotin sandals
Value to price ratio: terrible
4/10 based on lack of longevity

For a time I was starting to suspect an MPG Cuir Fétiche conspiracy the aim of which was to get me to review this perfume. It seemed that every order I placed anywhere suddenly included a free sample of this perfume!
I’m not that big on leather as a note in perfumery, most of which err to one or the other side. Either it smells like engine grease or else it smells like some kind of artificial suede scent which strikes me as poisonous.
Happily, Cuir Fétiche is one of the rare exceptions to the rule. Neither overly dark and oily, nor overly synthetic smelling, this composition dries down to a very pleasant leathery scent with just a touch of floral mixed in. I had no idea that this creation is marketed to women and assumed that it was unisex, but it is definitely a lot more enjoyable to my nose than most made-for-men leather fragrances.
I’ve noticed that this scent blends quite well also with the traces of other perfumes. The other day it smelled wonderful atop Bond no 9 Bryant Park, and then it mixed also very well with DelRae Mythique. Of course, iris and leather are a classic combination, so the latter discovery should come as no surprise. There’s even iris in Cuir Fétiche itself…

Unbelievably beautiful.
Stunning.
Marvellous.
Among the best cuir scents in my opinion.
Firstly he slams with a rough strength directly on your face. Then, he realizes what he has done and feels compassion for your tears and your staring face: “What have I done?” you seem to wonder.
He knows he has exaggerated, he repents and soon cuddles you in his embrace, surrounding you with flowers, a suede caress, a tender leather that soothes and dries your tears.
Flowers surround the leather and I find them so beautiful and comforting.
The lasting power is exceptional and sillage too; you surely need not to give you an extra dose of scent through the day.
Also, through the day you will follow his developing from harsh, to rude, to embracing, to tender on a complicated but beautiful path.
I love meandering through the various facets of this beautiful scent and I love his contradictory phases.
In my opinion Cuir Fetiche would be more for a woman than a man but as everyone interprets a scent in a most personal way, I would suggest to try.
Beautiful.
A masterpiece.

This is not a sado leather as maybe the name could suggest, but more of a polished, classy leather with a feet on Prada Amber Pour Homme boat and a feet on Tabac Blond boat. It has that clean, citrusy, musky and powdery aura of Prada with the spicy, resinous leather of Tabac Blond, softened by a little bit of vanilla-heliotrope at the background of the main leather aroma. I think it’s gorgeous and so far one of my favorites from the feminines selection – and also one that could be on the masculines too if they wanted it to be there.
Kh_richa – :
Cuir Fetiche is a floral-leather scent.
Starts with an abstract mixed sweet, citrusy, ambery floral – very classic, Chanel-like composition. Later more powdery leather appears. Overall, this is more floral then leather fragrance. Also, smells quite old-fashioned to me.
I don’t like it, I would like to smell more leather in this. Love the bottle though.

Lovely, lovely!
This is, as the post below says, a pleasant surprise. A soft, warm floral leather with subtle bright citric notes and cosy labdanum
The patchouli is just right, no hint of moldy bread, unwashed hair or damp cellar! It’s blended with a lightly salty tingling amber and the balance is great.
The leathery aspect is soft, chewy, not coal-tar-esque or car seat leather as in Cuir de Russie (I adore Cuir de Russie but it’s an entirely different perfume for a diferent ocassion).Sandalwood is softening the composition and lending a velvety touch to the drydown alongside a gourmand style vanilla (by which I mean proper vanilla pod with that slight woody-coffee smell.
I don’t get rose/ylang/iris separately but they’re obviously adding to the mix in subtle ways – the florals and citruses give this a pretty feel, as does vanilla though I’d say it’s quite unisex
This is cuddly overall, and is not dissimilar to L’Artisan’s Dzing! it’s less animalic though, I get no hint of hamster cage or tiger poo (I’ve no idea what tiger poo smells like, but Dzing always reminds me of a fairly clean hamster cage). Cuir Fetiche does have a slightly animalic ambrette though – a salty skin-scent quality
It’s subtly seductive, a good skin scent and the nicest perfume I’ve sampled in a while.
Sillage light, longevity good – it’s still there after many hours but close-to-skin
Later edit: Also reminds me of L’Air de Rien, but not as strong and definitely more refined in feel
Denka301 – :
I think Grottola’s review is spot on. Similar to Knize Ten, very similar. Dry, earthy, leather that is very smoky. The smoke is a cigarette ash smell. Has hints of some kind of animalics. I believe its castoreum that I smell. The florals here are blending way into the background. I definitely see the similarities to Giorgio Red also but only from memory.
Nice formal leather but nothing that gets me going.
Zveroboi.oleg – :
What a pleasant surprise!
This is like a softer version of Knize Ten, with a more pronounced birch note and slightly more prominent floral notes. It’s a rich, long-lasting, totally unisex floral leather that’s great if you find Knize Teen a bit too strong. Also contains elements of Chanel’s Cuir de Russie.
HoomaHekbog – :
This perfume is incredibly pretty. With the initial spray, the blend is so complex that my nose can’t pick out particular notes, but after a short while, leather and an incense quality is emerging which is perhaps the patchouli, sandalwood, amber and cedar. They are absolutely gorgeous. Perhaps it’s something about this combination of accords, but my nose senses a tobacco quality here, too, and that is very nice. A note of leather is definitely emerging. This fragrance doesn’t seem very strong at this point, but I’m hoping for a sustained intensity as the day wears on. So far, it’s more beautiful and less strident than I expected.
Yes, vague florals. Very pretty. Remained fairly distinct for about 6 or 7 hours. Sillage is modest, for this type of fragrance, but I enjoyed the fragrance for hours and hours. I’m going to enjoy this sample and I’ll probably order a larger vial from a sample house later on, but I’ll need to wear it more to decide if it is FB-worthy, at this price point.
pozitron_ – :
Years ago I had a leather clutch and wore Tabac Blond a lot at that time. Anyone who picked up my bag would comment on how amazing it smelled… TB from my wrist would rub off on it. Now TB is overly sweet and not the same, and personally I’ve never liked Knize or CdR, both of which the previous reviewer mentions. This, to me, smells like that leather clutch (which was shocking pink) with the TB rubbed into it. I can’t get enough of this!… it’s definitely *the* perfect leather for me. None of the notes listed pops out to me; it’s perfectly well blended and very soft.
Vogegesebeirl – :
Cuir Fetiche honestly did nothing for me. It strikes as a very classic flowery leather in the same vein of Knize Ten or Chanel’s Cuir De Russie. It’s definitely well crafted and has an overall good quality but if you’re already familiar with historical leather frags such as the ones I previously mentioned, Cuir Fetiche adds nothing new on the table.
I’m quite of a big fan of Maitre but, what really compells me about their older compositions is their rough edge and challenging power that Cuir Fetiche completely lacks. It’s too polished, mannered and…polite. Not bad but it surely doesn’t stand out in this crowded territory.
Rating: 6.5-7/10
