Cuir Infrarouge

...based on my Maison Crivelli experiences. Incredibly good fragrance. Similar DNA to some Borntostandout scents. Even she liked it after the third sniff. Raspberry hits you with force and flows seamlessly into leather and cinnamon. A super beautiful leather scent. Vanilla pudding and warm woods in the dry down. One spray is enough to fill the room with mist. So, use with caution!

Cuir Infrarouge by Maison Crivelli is, for me, a very successful and modern leather fragrance. The combination of fruity raspberry and warm leather creates an exciting contrast that makes the scent special and at the same time pleasantly wearable. Vanilla and iris give it a soft, velvety aura, so that the leather never seems too dominant. Overall, it is a high-quality fragrance with strong character that stands out from many classic leather scents. Definitely a fragrance I enjoy wearing.

To be honest, I like it. But I just proved to myself again that these kinds of fragrances aren't really my thing; I love it but it lacks character. Actually, I would get it either as a full bottle from this box or as a third niche fragrance. Raspberry and bergamot remind me of kids' toothpaste, and the thing I genuinely don't like here is the tonka and vanilla, but I would still wear it. It's mainly unisex, from what I feel (maybe leather with oud can make it more masculine-leaning). Even if you decide to blind buy this one, you won't be on the losing team. Longevity is nice, sillage is respectable too. I approve.
