BDK Parfums Creme de Cuir EDP

Description

A leather fragrance with no actual animal notes, just the impression of suede. Created by Violaine Collas and launched in 2018, Crème de Cuir opens on juicy pineapple and citrus before settling into a soft, skin-like suede over sandalwood and musk. It reads as a supple, refined leather rather than a harsh or smoky one.
