Cuir de Chine

Title fragrance name + inspiration

The idea behind Cuir de Chine is simple: take the rare Chinese osmanthus and show its true nature. Not just a flower. A scent with contrast — soft fruit and dry suede in one breath. Florence Fouillet Dubois focused on the essentials. Ten percent osmanthus, one percent jasmine, a hint of tobacco, and alpine sage. Every note has a reason. Nothing distracts, nothing shouts. A clear, modern take on leather. Clean lines, fresh texture, no heaviness. Like a tailored jacket that fits in any situation — at work, on the road, or just because it feels right. This perfume doesn’t follow trends. It builds character. It doesn’t need approval — it speaks for itself. That’s why Cuir de Chine works. It’s honest. It’s precise. It’s alive.

Olfactory Notes

The first seconds — fresh osmanthus. Juicy, like ripe apricot in the sun. Bright, but not sweet. Then comes the shift. The fruit steps back, suede steps forward. Soft, warm, calm. No noise — just texture. Next, jasmine. Not loud, just enough to round the edges. The scent grows deeper, more serious. Tobacco and sage appear at the end. Barely noticeable, but they matter. They ground the perfume. Give it weight. The result — harmony. Fruit, flower, leather. Balanced. Subtle. Honest. Not to impress others, but to feel complete. Cuir de Chine doesn’t perform. It speaks quietly. And that’s its strength.
