Cuir Ottoman, inspired by 'the erotism and the mystery of the East', is a leather perfume extraordinaire, forceful, elegant and extremely sensual. The powerful impact of the leather is softened by a bright and sweet orris note and ornamented beautifully by jasmine, herbs and incense. A sweet, balsamic leitmotif is always present in the background, perfectly balancing the potent brutality of leather. The scent, which is slightly animalistic, resinous and warm, does indeed evoke the Ottoman splendor, dirt and sensuality. Mysterious, alluring and full of character, Cuir Ottoman is one of our most favorite leather scents.
"Put on Cuir Ottoman and smell your arm: the leather sandal, fragrant as a flower, softly heated in the sun, waits for the girl." ~CHANDLER BURR 4 stars [Read Burr's review here]
