Description
One of the most famous stories about the controversial origins of the mojito rise on the pre-
existence of a similar medicinal drink, possibly used to treat the dysentery and scurvy epidemic that forced Sir Francis Drake’s crew to dock in Havana in the late 16th century. The Cuban recipe consisting of lemon, mint, rum and sugar cane was further enriched by the British with rum. The name emerged only in the 19th century – some believe it to be derived from “mojo” (a lemon-based seasoning), others to be a diminutive of “mojado” (wet in Spanish). Cuir Mojito is inspired by the harmony between the drink’s hot and cold aspects,
emphasizing its main ingredients with an elegant and comfortable base of leather along with floral and spicy accents. A versatile scent that is appropriate for any occasion.

Cuir Mojito opens up in a leather and citrus blast. It smells like a sophisticated leather jacket, with lemmon and in the backgroud I get some mint that makes it refreshing and uplifting. It is not a dark scent exaclty and it isn’t a light scent either, it is right in beetween. It is a versatile scent. After some time I can get liquorish vibe from the fragrance so it really does smell like a mojito with the leather that is always present in the scent. I also get some nice rubbery smell in the drydown. It has great longevity (8+ hours) and heavy projection. I love leather and the leather note in this one is amazing, very modern, as the fragrance itself. Love it!

This is one of my favorite of the collection and one that is pleasant at each dose. I have a tantrum with perfumes inspired in mojito or drinks with high citric content. They either end in a tedious way, loaded into musks and transparent woody materials, or simply concentrate their efforts on citrus and refreshing burst at the opening and then disappear. The proposal that Daniel had to avoid this is to combine the pleasures of the mixture of lemon, rum and mint with a leather accord between a more classic leather and a more modern one. You can see right away the most modern side with a smell a little plastic /varnish leather serving as a backdrop for the minty freshness and citrus that develops. The leather becomes more evident, accompanied by a bright floral accord that retains the aromatic and minty freshness. At the base you have a surprise, the most modern leather gives room for a contemporary interpretation of a chypre leather, something a little powdery, earthy and rubber like. It is an interesting proposal in the end – would this be a citrus aromatic leather or an aromatic leather chypre? The longlasting and complex aroma on the skin makes room for both interpretations.
