Tried this just an hour ago at Fenwicks and I fell for it instantly!!! Such a different, effortless and likeable scent. I got whiffs of it until I just got home and was thinking of buying it… Now I am having to dig in to smell it and it’s somewhat disappeared.
Maybe this is why people aren’t raving about it. £145 for 80ml just doesn’t cut it for me even if I was offered 6 samples to take away. But I did like the smell a lot and if I can find it cheaper, I would be happy to own it.

Amazing!! Think, an infinitely more wearable and slightly minty version of Memo African Leather. I’m shocked that the community isn’t raving night and day about this one! Could easily be a year-round signature scent for a mature male, any age

Minty star anise.
Amber, tobacco, star anise, vanilla, mint, and tonka beans. I believe this one is the most that i like of them all. It begun tobaccoish with sour notes then settles to sweet amber, with tobacco, and major star anise.
Interesting one.
Cute 2.

Okay, so I’m still a perfume novice, but when I first sprayed this, it immediately smelled overwhelmingly like a campfire up in Mt Charleston, where we used to go camping when I was a kid.
I guess that’s the star anise and tobacco, but on me it’s a smoky, char-type of scent. After awhile I can pick out the leather and hints of the amber, but when it’s all blended together, it smells exactly like a campfire surrounded by pine trees.
I can’t get enough.
But as others have said, the projection and longevity just aren’t there. Not for the price. Which is so sad, because I just can’t stop spraying this, and my tiny little sample will be gone in a flash.

There’s something about this scent that reminds me of sunny autumn days. There’s a certain softness in the first minutes that I enjoy, but it quickly becomes too sweet, heavy and smothering. Such a pity.

Spiced and aromatic herbaceous, deep sweet/bitter honey. So it smell to me.
Gorgeous.

Anise Impertinent! So gentle, natural, comforting and full of creativity.

Me and my OH were laughing for ages about wearing a scent called ‘Impertinent Queer’ (we are both guys before anyone says that’s homophobic y’all!).
I have so far been underwhelmed by this Mugler line – performance generally lacking and not special enough to justify the high prices.
This is one of my favourites! Strong anise and slightly minty, as stated by other reviewers.
I don’t detect much leather here, overall a sweet and spicy scent.
Long lasting with moderate sillage… if it had just a little more perhaps I’d invest!

So leathery, so chic and…expensive.
Mugler should sell smaller bottle for his Les Exceptions’s collection like he does for the regular line. 30ml format is enough when a perfumista have hundred of perfume bottle…

Opens with a heavy dose of star anise, it’s really strong almost camphoric/minty in a way, but it’s really just the anise coming through. Light sweet aromatic tobacco notes start to come through in the dry down, but the anise stays strong and mixes with the tobacco, there is a base of amber and leather but the leather is the hardest note for me to pick up in here. All in all, it’s a very interesting fragrance but not something I would wear. Pass

got given a sample of this in store. It has a massive sweet base note that lasts through the entire dry down. It’s the first and last thing you’ll smell. Its exuberant and pleasant. Perfect for someone young, outgoing, playful. I’m none of these things so I’ll give it a miss.

(review based on spray samples)
On both paper and skin, the dominant note I get in the opening is dill – ever so slightly vlasic/pickley dill, but mostly fresh dill! I get crushed stemmy green vibes for the first several minutes after spraying, then it settles down into a surprisingly fresh, high quality suedey brightness that is extremely enjoyable. I dont detect the dry pungency I associate with whole dried star anise . Or at least its not the most detectable note – its more of a green anise seed rather than star anise. Similar to originaldeftom, I also wish there was just a tad more emphasis on the leather as the scent develops. It gets quite linear after the opening, but it’s interesting enough that it doesn’t get boring. Not as monsterous as a few of the other mugler mainstream offerings in terms of projection/sillage, but people can definitely smell it and longevity is excellent. Really enjoying this one.

This is a very smooth leather/suede tobacco excursion. The anise lends some spicy fullness then the leather emerges so soft and beautiful. The amber brings the sexy warmth. Definitely unisex in the best way. If your a leather fan, check this one out.

Reminds me of a french pastry or pumpkin spice latte. I get star anise accompanied by a soft amber and cinnamon(I think). I think of Paris when I smell this. Wonderful!

Wearing this for the second time today.
I like most of the offerings in this collection so far.
But like most other fragrances in this collection, Cuir Impertinent reminds me of something else that I already own and enjoy….
There definitly is a vague resemblance to Spicebomb, not as complex, not as strong, but certainly there in the first hour.
Then, tobacco comes out.
I really like this collection (Chyprissime and Supra Floral being my favorite) but the projection of these is minimal.

Absolutely star anise-ly stunning. Wonderfully medicinal, apothecary but in an extremely sophisticated and elegant way. THIS Is what abstract perfumery about: creating new and unchartered territory. I must say this anise note is wonderfully green at first, bursting with a green-bitters kind of zest that I have not experienced in a while.
The sweet, gentle tobacco and suede note round this off so nicely, it almost becomes hypnotic.
Personally, I would like it to lean more towards the leather notes to warrant the title, but I am being “impertinent”.
Fantastic release that I would love to add to my ever growing collection.
8/10. Fresh, green, spicy leather was never done so well!

Very, very nice.
Mugler sent me a sample of this and a few others. I haven’t tried them, but I decided to give this one a shot today and I’m quite impressed.
This is kind of a woodsy leather, which i know seems surprising looking at the notes. It smells more complex than it really is. I got a whiff of it, and it reminded me just of these woods that I used to go running in! Very realistic and not synthetic, which surprised me from TM.
The tobacco note blends nicely with the amber and the leather to create a sweet, earthy accord. The anise is there, but it’s not sharp or very poignant like in Lolita Lempicka, for example.
It does smell a little floral too. Of course a guy would pull this off nicely, but…it’s a little more on the feminine side to my nose. Nothing heavy or “masculine” about it. The leather isn’t even very pronounced, but I really do find this an interesting, well rounded fragrance with decent sillage and longevity. I’d wear this one again.

Opens with a sweetness that says, “this is Mugler, all right!” I also get a tiny streak of green, presumably from the star anise, which I don’t otherwise notice as a spice note until well into the middle of the progression. This fragrance is much more tobacco than leather to me, and also surprisingly smoky. The Mugler Marketing Department would have you believe that it is, “the smokiness of tanned leather,” but to me it’s much more like pipe or cigar smoke. Please note, though, that I also tried it on paper and it was much more “green”/less smoky, so your millage may vary. Amber becomes preeminent on the back end, as befits a base note.
As a big fan of A*Men Les Parfums de Cuir (aka Pure Leather) I was really looking forward to this one. It didn’t disappoint me—I think it’s a very good fragrance—but I do think it’s miscast. I’m sure Tabac Impertinent would have sold just as well.

I quite like this unisex fragrance – I agree with walking44 that this is a fall/autumn scent. I am reviewing a spray tester I received with an order from the TM site.I tried to blind guess the notes and while tobacco, anise, and leather are easily recognizable, I was quite surprised that musk and incense aren’t listed. I get a sweet smokey note on the top that dissipates after a few minutes, and the sillage smells like musk to me. Cuir Impertinente serves the same scent purpose as CK Obsession for me, though they don’t smell alike, but the occasions I’d wear either would be the same – a cozy fall day, hanging out inside with hot tea or coffee. I much prefer the Mugler. Though, for some odd reason I keep thinking of CK One with this even though I don’t think the two smell alike – I think the musky anise smell might be tricking me, but I’d be curious to know if others are smelling some similarity between the two.
With one spray from a tester, I don’t think projection is all that great, especially for a Mugler scent. If this were louder, and perhaps a bit less expensive, I’d grab a bottle for sure.

Similar to “over the musk” but spicier. Smells like a pumpkin spice latte. Its a very fall smelling fragrance. Reminds me of a bakery. I’m loving this new line!! I’d wear them all.

I don’t quite understand why it is not available in England, it is available in USA, and France, and most other places by mugler online but the UK site nothing I have emailed them, however given that Mirror Mirror was never available here and having written several letters to Mugler and Clarins, the UK distributors, it failed to even get a response, so I am not holding out for much hope.
