Enchanted Leather in a Bed of Flowers
I admit, I am hopelessly infatuated with this fragrance - and I must have it! But let's tell the story from the beginning:
As life sometimes plays out, I stumbled upon a sample purely by chance. Otherwise, I probably would never have come across Cuir Ottoman due to its "women's fragrance" labeling. Accordingly, my anticipation was somewhat muted when I read this classification. But then I saw the target audience distribution favoring men in conjunction with Apicius' comment - and my excitement grew again. What then developed on my skin in the next seconds and hours, however, exceeded my wildest expectations:
Imagine an oriental incense burner, in which various types of leather, vanilla, tonka beans, and flowers (iris!) are being smoked with styrax resin - now combine this vision with a pleasant sweetness, as well as slight whisky notes, and you get a rough idea of this masterpiece.
Marc-Antoine Corticchiato takes us with this composition into the Ottoman Empire. Strange yet erotic scents fill the air, exotic music can be heard, clouds of incense waft through the palace, and guests indulge in seas of flowers on sumptuous leather furnishings. The fragrance radiates a powerful masculinity, paired with the desire and eroticism of a seductive woman.
Cuir Ottoman is a fragrance of contrasts: masculine, leathery, and smoky at the beginning, soft and caressing at the end. Or rather: Enchanted leather in a bed of flowers - and what was it again about contrasts and attraction?
