Cuir d'Oranger
Fragrance notes
Character
Cuir d'Oranger opens with a bright spray of neroli and orange blossom that feels immediate and clear. Petitgrain Paraguay adds a leafy, slightly bitter edge to the citrus, keeping the start from becoming a simple sunny note. The flowers are present and noticeable, giving the early stage a clean and upright character that sits close to the skin without overwhelming the air around you.
The heart introduces Egyptian jasmine and orris, which soften the bright opening with a gentle floral weight. The jasmine is smooth rather than heady, and the orris brings a powdery root quality that grounds the white petals. This middle stage feels composed and steady, moving the fragrance from a pure citrus tone into something more structured and floral.
The base brings birch, oakmoss, patchouli, and rock rose together into a dry and woody finish. Birch adds a leather accord that is present but not heavy, while oakmoss contributes a green and earthy texture. Patchouli deepens the blend with an earthy bitterness, and rock rose adds a resinous warmth. The result is a white floral and citrus fragrance that settles into a woody and leather profile.
