Hey there APJ,

My mate Mia imports David Jourquin fragrances to Australia through the Perfume Profiling group and she has sent me a 5ml sample to try and give away. Recently Sandra wrote us and introduction to these David Jourquin scents, they all look like they’re going to be really lovely and I adore the bottles. Don’t they look fun with their leather coats?

Cuir Caraibes by David Jourquin 2015

Cuir Caraibes David Jourquin FragranticaFragrantica

Fragrantica gives these featured accords:
Top: Bergamot, citruses, green mango
Heart: White flowers, Jamaican pepper, ginger
Base: Vvetiver, guaiac wood, patchouli, leather, amber

Cuir Caraibes opens aquatic, spicy, foody, and full of fresh cut fruit. It’s an unexpected delight jolting me from the hum drum into a fresh, juicy daiquiri of a fragrance. The fruit is buoyed by the sizzle of pepper and the zing of ginger. The whole has a lovely soft creaminess keeping it from going supersonic and I think that might be a very clean jasmine mixed with the patchouli.

The heart maintains the crisp fruit from the opening as a whisper as we find a more relaxed, lightly smoky elegance. There’s something very unusual about the way these flavours all blend, piquant.

As we head towards dry down Cuir Caribs becomes very smooth and balmy with only quiet hints of the named ingredients. Very wearable and lasts for ages.

Perfume Profiling has AUD$215/100ml EdP

    I only have one leather, but I want more! I was lucky enough to be gifted a sample of David Jourquin’s Cuir Altesse by Mia on another forum. As soon as I opened the packaging, I was in love, and I’d like to continue the affair!

  16. I follow through my email. I think Dior Leather Oud is a good one, especially when it dries down and the honeycomb starts to come out.I also think Canali is a good cheap leather fragrance.

  17. I love the smell of leather, but I realIze that I have actually own only two leather scents. very little Bulgari Black has leather but to me the smell is more lapsang suchon and rubber.
    In the other end of the spectrum is the suede of Bottega Venetta.
    So I would be very interested in this.
    Follow by email. Thanks for the draw opportunity.

  21. I like leather scents that go for relatively plush and suedey interpretation of leather such as Cuiron, Chanel Cuir de Russie, and PdE Cuir Ottoman. Thanks for the generous draw. I follow APJ through email and Facebook.

  22. I’m a big fan of Knize Ten and Etat Libre D’Orange (Tom of Finland). Perhaps not traditionally leather, yet both develop – on me anyway – to something particularly leathery (and I mean that in a good way).
