Description
“Dancing along the paths of a garden redolent with May roses and jasmine, she reaches the entrance to a grand palace, behind which a fabulous “festa” sparkles with life. Dizzy from a waft of bergamot-spiked Prunol, she climbs the monumental marble staircase. She then slithers toward the ballroom in her fluffy taffeta gown. Feather- and sequin-bedecked masks cavort, seek out and play with this mysterious newcomer draped in powdery pink.
An all-night party in a rose-colored palace.
Deep beneath her diaphanous skin beats the thrill of a feather-light, bewitching love potion of a perfume, which resonates on the base notes of a baroque melody wrapped in a sensual cloak of leather and white musk.” – a note from the brand.

Meh.
A confused mish mash of notes. In the beginning it was fleetingly interesting and I was reminded of Selperniku of all things. A bit fruity and a bit buttery. I didn’t get rose. Pretty quickly is settled into a fruity musk.
Since others rate musk as the most prominent note and my skin has a tendency to flatten musk notes, I’m guessing this is the source of my indifference.

A lot of musk , fruit and a bit of leather.
Can’t find the rose in this scent.
it reminds me of a box of washing powder.

First off, the confusion based around the note pyramid. It confuses me that people have voted rose to be the least distinguishable note. As I understand that smell is a highly personal thing, I’m totally letting this go because… it’s a non-issue. Buyers know that this can be a very rose heavy scent, though.
Along with personally finding this to be quite a rose laden scent, I will lend my favour to it being incredibly zesty and quite floral and woody. It’s not the type of thing you smell everyday and this is what seems to set this apart from many different leather based fragrances. What is listed as passionfruit does seem to be that one thing you wouldn’t find in a leather scent, along with aquaticism, but the Cuir collection is rather varied in this aspect. I’ve only tried two, but I have two more 5mL samples coming my way to properly explore.
What I get from this is something that I can’t quite describe. Having never been to the lands that this was based off of, I can’t compare. What I can say is that it isn’t too heavy on the leather like one would expect. The leather seems to circulate other, more central notes. It is, at heart, zesty and floral. It doesn’t develop a whole lot on my skin, which I was initially disappointed by, but it really does seem that the personal one note affair is a good one. The sample will be enough for me, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t enjoyed it.
I repeat, this is VERY zesty
