Caramelbomb!

FAIL by Armani!
The leather (if there is any) fades fast and is gone in 30 Minutes. It seems hidden under lots of Caramel Clouds that CUIR.
No strong oud accords i get, more like old almonds in the Sun. Amber and Vanilla smell come up and dominate. Like a milk-toffee candy. Sweet and Cheap. This one stays about 4 hours. Maybe less. Stays very close to your skin. That's it.

Nothing special. A little bit like AMBER by MARC JACOBS mixed with ROCHAS MAN. Not worth the money. Sorry.

Soft and elegant leather

Cuir Noir is a leather for people who don't like leather.

After the first spray which can seem a bit harsh, Cuir Noir appears to be soft and enveloping, accompanied by sandalwood and benzoin. I even find it has a cocoa-like smell.

The whole thing is very elegant. On the other hand, once again, the price is totally exaggerated and for my part, I cannot afford to spend so much on a perfume, no matter how beautiful it is. What a pity...

Cuir Noir von Giorgio Armani

this isn 't a classic retro leather fragrance the vanilla and rose touch tend to subdue and gourmandize the result in a very particular way i would prefer to smell this on women skin .

Cuir, saffron in an elegant bottle - for a horrible price.

Honestly, its such a nice fragnance.
I sometimes feel it on my uncle (I do not have so much money to buy a scent for such a price), so I will describe my feelings when I feel it on him.
It actually starts with sweetness, combined with cuir and then with saffron. After a while, it becomes more and more weak, and there can be felt mainly cuir. Its very warm fragnance, makes me feel safe (dont know why, haha).
I think its mainly for men, it can easily underline their masculinity.

Once I had an oportunity to try this piece and it was much sweeter on me than on my uncle. I do not have very acid feromones, so thats maybe the reason. It was nice, but sometimes it felt too much strong on me.

Anyway, for that price I would except stronger longevity, cant help myself. If it cost less, I would definitely buy this one. Main reason would be, its sweet and mysterious, maybe a little bit smoky.
For THAT price, well...

Lucifer Morningstar

It's been a long time since I truly loved a TV series - and I almost didn't expect it to happen again. But then the devil himself got involved, quite literally. 'Lucifer' - that's the name of the series - is about just that. Bored with the monotony of his job down in hell, he goes incognito - in the guise of a dapper nightclub owner with the last name 'Morningstar' - on a sort of 'vacation' - fittingly to Los Angeles, the 'City of Angels'. Here he encounters bad people, a man-crazy psychotherapist named Linda, and the tough LAPD detective Chloe. It sounds silly and downright stupid, but it's a pleasure to watch and sexy, funny, simply: fantastic.

The Welsh actor Tom Ellis plays the lord of hell wonderfully smooth and Mephistophelian - and his distinctly British accent among all the Americans adds to the charm. (So is the devil actually from the UK?) His bored, predatory swagger, his gestures, facial expressions, his way of speaking, and the - mostly black - wardrobe, all of it is almost arrogantly self-assured, cool, and perfectly intimidating in a seemingly effortless way. The series' devil is a bit like a sarcastic, sly James Bond - and in a time when vampires and zombies have become dream men, it was only a matter of time before the embodiment of evil would also have to serve as an object of desire. And Tom Ellis does this as Lucifer Morningstar fabulously.

What does the devil smell like? Sulfur would be expected (and not very pleasant), incense surely counterproductive. But one like him here - Armani Privé's Cuir Noir, black leather at its smoothest and most elegant - yes! Relatively unabashedly sexy (Rose! Oud! Clichéd, yes - but there are reasons this pairing is repeatedly used), confidently feline (Leather! Shiny black car seats!) and a little bit unsettling (the combination of overtly sweet vanilla and something slightly charred has proven effective). And when Lucifer strolls through the naturally parting crowd past the endless line in front of his club behind the barrier, he is not surrounded by sulfur, but rather a hint of Cuir Noir.

Conclusion: already fantastic is that introductory scene in the pilot episode when Chloe's little daughter asks him his name, and he replies: 'Lucifer.' She, excited: 'Like the devil?' He, smiling: 'Exactly!' The elegant, the dark, the ironic - all of that is in Cuir Noir. And even without knowing or even liking the series - devilishly good.
