Description
In July, 2016, Armani launches Cuir Majesté, the new fragrance from the luxurious Privé collection, exclusively at Harrods. The collection is distinguished by rare and precious ingredients and a luxurious bottle of simple lines. The new Armani Privé Cuir Majesté, announced as a modern and sensual fragrance, is dedicated to London and its history, culture and heritage.
The rich, hypnotic and warm unisex composition contains woody, floral and tobacco accents. Top notes of dried fruit dipped in incense turn into warm notes of leather and tobacco infused with osmanthus flower. The heart of May rose is wrapped in an intense vanilla accord. The base ends with oud and mosses.
Available as a 250 ml Eau de Parfum at the price of £530.

The mystique of Armani Cuir Majeste–the only member of the Prive line sold exclusively outside the US, to my knowledge–was significant, as was the praise I heard for it, so I was delighted to procure a decant. It’s exclusive to Harrods in London, but seems to be available for purchase online.
Like another Armani Prive offering, Cuir Noir, Cuir Majeste is a sweet leather fragrance, but better, at least to me. CM is composed mostly of leather and mixed fruits, with a strong hint of rose in the background, with more minor accords of oud, resins, and perhaps some woods remotely contributing.
I’m definitely impressed. I liked Cuir Noir but I love Cuir Majeste. it’s an excellent “sweet leather” fragrance, opulent and sharp, certainly a notch up in terms of formality from Davidoff Leather Blend, another one of my favorite sweet leathers, and less loaded and audacious than, say, Tom Ford Tuscan Leather or its now-numerous smellalikes.
One downside is that while most of the Prive line is sold in 100ml bottles for $250-300 or so (depending on the scent), Cuir Majeste is sold only in a 250ml bottle for $612 (the Harrods site’s conversion from GBP as of today). I can hardly think of any need for that much juice, so it may just have to be a decant for me for the time being.
This is a great offering and I hope it receives a wider release (in 100ml bottles) at some point. It surely is one of my favorites of the Prive line, along with Rose d’Arabie (my very favorite), Myrrhe Imperiale, Oud Royal, New York, and Bois D’Encens.
Try it if you can track down a decant or live in the UK!

Absolutely mesmerizing Harrods exclusive. It lasts 12 hours plus. It is like a stronger version of Dior’s Ambre Nuit. So beautiful. Just a tad pricey!

absolutely outstanding!
Cuir Majeste is a very unique smell deeper than Cuir Noir, darker than Ambre Soie, sweeter than Ambre Orient
masculine but not loud, rich but not exaggerated, erotic attractive
i don`t feel the notes of rose, oud, and moss – EDP is dominated by silky skin with a lot of sweet vanilla, candied fruit and cigarette smoke
the composition is balanced very well, long lasting ~about 8 hours, having and nice 2-3 meters “tail” ;P
these perfumes love to be used at night, attract women`e eyes, hipnotizing
great for elegant men`s with a lot of money ;P

I remember seeing this on the Harrods website last year and then the price (£530) and thinking pfft, get out. Suffice to say I was really excited to see it in the flesh. I sprayed it onto my wrist and walked away from the counter. Within a minute a hypnotic tobacco, oud and spice combination wafted over towards me. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLY INTOXICATING. WOW. I ran back to the counter and doused myself in it. It really is something magical. I am actually going to save up for this and cherish every mL. I am irritated that they’re not offering a smaller size, it would definitely sell much better!

So I had a chance to try this one at Harrods 2 weeks ago while I were in London. Overall, this one is a drier, darker, more masculine and a bit more sophisticate version of Rose d’Arabie. During the first few minutes I couldn’t tell the different between this and Rose d’Arabie due to the incense, oud, rose and vanilla. As the scent dries down, it reveals a more sophisticate combination with tobacco, amber, some sugary note (I guess that’s the dried fruit) and leather. The scent itself does not disappointed but the way Armani sell it is a huge draw back. What am I gonna do with a 250 ml bottle? Shower everyday with it? This is purely for the purpose of increasing revenue. With £530 I rather buy 3 other good one and that was exactly what I did. So if money is not an issue then this is a great choice.

Same here, @consumerthis! When I saw “Cuir”, I knew it’s French for “leather”. I expect a balsamic, smokey, incense-y and leathery finesse to this olfactory “oeuvre d’art” possibly concentrated as EDP Intense! Really eager to try this! But I hope its performance would be a hitter! Nice one Giorgio Armani!!!
