Cuir Velours

Soft as a leather glove, boozy with rum and immortelle. Cuir Velours by Naomi Goodsir is an intimate, luxurious take on leather, crafted by perfumer Julien Rasquinet. It softens the traditional intensity of leather into something smooth, warm and enveloping, like suede against bare skin: refined, sensual and quietly addictive. The Story The house sums up the idea as soft as a leather glove: a creamy leather accord layered with rum, blonde tobacco and immortelle, the strawflower whose honeyed, hay-like warmth reads like ripe fruit. Incense and labdanum add spice and subtle complexity, while amber and woods form a comforting base. Naomi Goodsir, an Australian designer who began in hat-making, founded the house in 2012. How It Smells Opening Supple suede leather, smooth, creamy and inviting from the very first moment, with a boozy touch of rum. Heart Immortelle adds a warm, slightly honeyed glow, while soft tobacco nuances and cistus labdanum bring depth without heaviness. It remains balanced, never too sweet and never too sharp. Dry Down It settles into ambery warmth and skin-like softness, with incense and gentle woods creating a cozy trail.
