Cuir Altesse David Jourquin 2014

He carries her on hands to the open fireplace
100 candles at the bottom.
Her glow is reflected in his spicy eyes,
in the colour of cardamom capsules.
Gently he lets her slide to the ground.
A rose, dark red,
used like a spring for play.
Sizzling eroticism
shimmering heat
burning hands on bodies
balsamic forcing on leather skins
Moist amber kisses on vanilla skin...

The scent is a rather spicy,
towards the end the balsamic dream becomes softer and softer,
with wonderfully interwoven, discreet, very dark red rose.
The spices, primarily cardamom,
take themselves back in time.
I would still recommend very discreet spraying.
What remains is this wonderfully balsamic base
from some patchouli, ambergris,
with vanilla and lots of benzoin,
sensual dripping.
A touch of soft leather accompanies the course,
but recedes more and more into the background.
The whole thing is underlined by a little oak moss.
I can't make out the cumin directly here,
maybe gives the fragrance a little bit of dirty....
together with a minimal pinch of smoke.
Cuir Altesse is wearable for women and men.
The fragrance stays on the skin all day long,
sprayed on a wool jumper until the next wash.
Slip into this sweater the next day,
a scent residue is transferred to the skin,
and the memory is back.
