In the name of the leathery rose
Cuir Pleine Fleur from the house of Heeley is a fragrance that is confusing at first glance. He can and wants to do a lot but where exactly it should go, he doesn't show you this directly or he shows you it, but everything seems incomplete. But before we go deeper, a few introductory words: I only knew Heeley from hearsay, but I'm always curious about leather scents. Why this one did not come across to me before is easily explained. I cannot enjoy rose in fragrances, lavender only to a limited extent. Both are contained here, so eyes closed and through, one would like to unken.
In fact, the fragrance starts off directly leathery, with the entourage also starting off ad hoc. It's not as spicy as I read, but rather flowery and lovely. The leather here is extremely soft, it appears soft and noble, and can be led by the rose. Yes yes.....the rose.......
This can be perceived clearly and in a leading way, but is still bearable as it clearly colours the leather, but does not completely dominate it. In general, various tones are mixed in, if you know about them or you might imagine it better that way. The cedar has a sublime effect on the suede, a pinch of cinnamon enhances the flowery, lovely effect of the rose.
Now - and this is the exciting thing in my eyes - the rose gradually disappears and the violet leaf emerges, although indicated as the head of the perfume. In terms of its effect, the fragrance can now be compared to the Fahrenheit flanker Absolute. The violet leaf provides an earthy undertone, emphasizing not least the spicy notes, so that over time a fragrance develops after all. This part is stronger but does not change the fact that it is floral here.
Nothing else seems to fit me here, because this present refined leather requires such partners and not strong, obstinate companions. It is too soft for that. Its own smell and a certain clarity in it are noticeable, but nothing more.
My difficulty with Cuir Pleine Fleur is the richness of the ingredients that are prepared for us here. I cannot help the impression that ingredients such as cedar, for example, can hardly penetrate and get lost. The birch - obviously not in the form of birch tar - is totally lost in its normal form. Yes, you can guess it if you know how it should smell. But that is not enough for me at this point. Also the orientation of the leather scent does not appeal to me subjectively. I am looking for more extreme representatives. One must not see it objectively like this, so I will not elaborate on this point
My conclusion: if you like rose leather or are looking for a flowery alternative here, you should test it. For those who prefer more coarse variants, this is a bad idea, because the other contents are much too dominant. But - Fahrenheit Absolute was finally discontinued - there is a not identical but related alternative to a designer fragrance and could find customers and fans here as well.
