Description
“Cuir captures something from an bygone era whilst maintaining an axis secured in the here-and-now, devoid of any post-modernistic nostalgia generated when deliberately intent on a course of retrospection. Indeed, just as Hawkins embraced the modern musical direction of the time allowing the authority of his tenor to contribute monumentally to the music, in this writer’s humble opinion, ‘Cuir6’ adds a momentous symbol of punctuation to the unfolding depth of perfume’s history regarding the ‘leather’ genre.” – a note from the perfumer.

Cuir6 opens with a rough, assertive and unapologetic blast of smoky leather that feels like an assault to your senses and leaves no room for compromise. A foghorn of smoke with a claustrophobic and yet mesmerizing character. Something I could only relate to early Swans’ music. It’s modern and primitive at the same time, rough but not simplistic as it actually relies on a classic bone-structure. It takes a while to Cuir 6 to properly settle down as the opening is quite brutal but once the middle phase and the base break in, it’s time for gratification. An old-school patch / labdanum driven masculine with a multifaceted leather component provided by birch-tar, ionones, castoreum and boatloads more of leathery paraphernalia.
Forget about trendy aromachemicals, forget about overly polished leathers, forget about *leathery* stuff. Cuir 6 is the primordial magma of leather. Cuir 6 is the hyper-leather.
A few keywords to have a better idea on which ballpark this stuff plays in. Think about Le Labo’s Patchouli 24 minus the barbecue accord and with the vanilla brutally toned down. Tauer’s Lonestar Memories minus the amber. Lisa Kirk’s Revolution without the urban feel or an *ungroomed* version of Mad Et Len Black Aghan. Ok, think about all of the above and you’re still far from the real treat you will experience with this fragrance.
Striking, straight to the point and absolutely unique. Leather freaks you’ve been warned: this is holy grail stuff.
Rating: 8.5/10

Intense barnyard leather. Very strange.
