THE RUSH
Cuir by Yves Saint Laurent, crafted by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis, is a refined leather fragrance launched in 2016 for both women and men. It opens with a spicy, warm blend of rum, saffron, and ginger, unfolding into rich heart notes of tobacco, black tea, and osmanthus. The scent settles on a deep, sophisticated base of leather, guaiac wood, and oud, offering a bold yet elegant fragrance experience that embodies luxury and strength.
The collection of luxury perfumes from Yves Saint Laurent inspired by the iconic pieces of fashion of the house, Le Vestiaire des Parfums, was presented in the fall of 2015, with five editions. The new sub-collection Le Vestiaire des Parfums Collection de Nuit comes out in September 2016 with three new fragrances: Cuir, Velours and Vinyle. These three new unisex perfumes are said to be audacious, elegant and sensual aromas of rock 'n' roll signature. The selected materials of leather, vinyl and velvet evoke the night and the fashion of Parisian night life.
Cuir is created by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis as a scent of smoked leather and sensual guaiac wood combined with spicy saffron. The composition opens with notes of concentrated rum, essence of ginger and saffron absolute. Osmanthus, black tea and pipe tobacco form the heart of the perfume, placed on the base of guaiac wood, oud and leather.
