Cuir Imperial
Fragrance notes
Character
Lavender opens with a cool, herbal snap that feels like stepping into a shaded courtyard after a bright morning. Saffron adds a warm, metallic shimmer that keeps the opening from leaning too floral. Nutmeg brings a dry, dusty heat that grounds the herbs and prepares the way for the heavier elements waiting underneath.
Oud enters with a dark, resinous weight that feels carved rather than poured. Vanilla softens the edges without turning the blend sweet. The heart sits in a steady balance where spice and wood feel equally present, creating a texture that is rich but never overwhelming.
Patchouli carries a damp, earthy depth that anchors the entire composition. Musk wraps the base in a powdery haze that blurs the sharper edges of the oud. The finish feels like a heavy wool coat draped over a wooden bench in a quiet garden just as the light begins to fade.
