Supple leather and castoreum
This is elegant, classy and bold at the same time. It's a supple suede leather without its dirty animalic aspects (so, no birch tar here). Something reminds me of Salome , must be the castoreum resembling the hyraceum in there, or the musks in both? There's also something almost mentholated in here, as if there were some liquorice or anise seed, but maybe it's the animalic notes again that give this type of scent profile.

This is very pleasant in any case, so don't be afraid of the traditionally difficult to wear notes in here. They're downplayed and they purr instead of roar. Very feline: I would say that if you like Lune Féline Eau de Parfum and 21 Felanilla, you'll enjoy this.

With one or two corners
A voluminous citrus fruit, more Haribo than Mediterranean market cart, immediately mixes in an original way with a hint of sour and presumably already beavered leather. Not fully-VER-beavered, just AN-beavered. Within a few minutes, I smell mild leather with Fanta.

But gradually the leather note dares to come out, after a quarter of an hour it even briefly takes on something pupated and then presents the little creature more boldly. In my opinion, the animalic aspect is essentially based on castoreum. Of course, nothing is exaggerated; although quite noticeable, it is tastefully integrated. Elegantly flanked by sweet smoke in small doses.

A while later, a "Know-it" thought suddenly pops up about some other fragrance. The little archivist in the brain, who always goes searching when a memory is not immediately available, suddenly calls out after a while "XerJoff!". Hmm, the samples have long moved on.... The most likely candidate is Red Hoba, which also had that dark fruity and largely beaver-leathery note. Yes, that must have been it. No twins, let that be clear, there is only a certain stylistic closeness. Above all, the Red Hoba was more abundant, sensual, and extroverted, while Cuir Erindil - at least in comparison - remains more introspective. I am curious whether today's candidate will hold up better character-wise towards the end, as the XerJoff became greasy-dry-plum-like.

But the paths diverge. In the afternoon, Cuir Erindil offers particularly sandy creaminess. As such, very nice, but now unfortunately leatherless. Great alliteration! I recall a remark by Josef Hellmesberger (1828-93), concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic, about the feared music critic Eduard Hanslick: "Hanslick went to Karlsbad suffering from liver ailments. And unfortunately returned alive."

Uh - yes.... From the fantastic beaver, only a faint whisper remains directly on the skin. Instead, the center of the overall now weak fragrance is a mix of iris freshness and a sweet-soapy-woody aura. This could have exuded some eroticism in a more balanced interplay with the beaverish rest. In this case, however, it is limited to an almost theoretical impression that might only come into its own in absolute close combat. In the evening, Cuir Erindil finishes rather conventionally with a bright musk note and a touch of candy-like sweetness.

Nevertheless: A beautiful fragrance with one or two corners in it. I like it.

I thank 0815abc for the sample.

All Seasons
Today at noon it finally arrived!
Finally, it took two days, and it was here.
Since I have everything sent to the office, I took the box, ran to the coffee kitchen, and unpacked it.
Before I even got the chance to test it on myself, a colleague came over with the question "What new thing do you have this time?"... he got the first spray!
He practically snatched it out of my hand and ran off, saying "This one is not for you."
Thanks to my immense athleticism and years of experience as a bodyguard for Mrs. Can, I was able to confidently and with a few hand movements remove the bottle from his now limp fingers.
After this "finger exercise," I returned to the kitchen.
Once there, I wondered for a few seconds what smelled so good?....... it was..... Cuir Erindil!
What does it smell like now???

(We all now imagine a fireworks display with confetti cannons and two lightly dressed, blonde, sexy trumpet angels with Cuir Erindil in the middle).

It is what I have always wanted, an absolute all-rounder.
A scent that can be worn in every season: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
It is suitable for everything: work, evening, going out, on vacation, and so on...
This fragrance is a scent chameleon.
It constantly changes its fragrance direction.
It starts off very citrusy, somewhat like a long drink.
I perceive lemon, mandarin, and even salt.
In the heart note, you then feel as if the long drink is evaporating.
It becomes smoky and very softly sweaty-animalic, but only very subtly.
The base note increasingly becomes leatherier and musky-vanilla.
I find the leather note very beautiful; it reminds me of very fine calf leather.
Paired with musk and vanilla, you get the impression of smelling sun-kissed skin.
The top note at the beginning swings around a bit, in my opinion, barely noticeable but still there.

Extremely sexy....!
Ladies and gentlemen... extremely sexy!
Honestly.
Equally suitable for men and women.
An all-rounder in my opinion and a welcome guest in any collection.
A fragrance for days when you are undecided about what to wear.
It caters to almost all tastes.
I am already a fan of Cuir Erindil.

Oh, and Ahmet..... Sorry again for the two broken fingers.
It wasn't meant that way! ...... my friend!

Even after another test, it's wonderful for me. Heavy, sweet, spicy, leathery, delicately floral with an oriental touch.

After a brief citrus opening, resins, spices, and subtle animal notes follow on a leathery base. In the background, there's a hint of incense...

Little creatures crawl over your skin, leaving strange secretions that smell animalic-leathery, and disappear into your nose.

Lasciviously licking leather carelessly. Heavily sweet fruity mercilessly good. Let's meet in the black room.

Smooth balsamic-sweet oriental with (for me) too much animalic and too little leather

Quite fresh but not citrusy leather with an animalistic undertone. However, this is toned down by the other notes.
