The enigmatic suggestion of the scent of summer glove leather
You enter and feel like you're in another world. Everything is as it was then, at the time of the fin de siècle. Marble, golden brass decor, black bentwood furniture, high columns, plenty of windows, a distinguished clientele sipping coffee cups and - the soul of the café: a sparkling display case full of the most delicious nibbles, tarts, Danish pastries, cakes and petit fours, whose loving production - from our own patisserie, of course - you can already tell how wonderful they will taste.
For me, a stay in one of Vienna's oldest cafés, Café Central in the City, which has been around since 1876, always begins in front of this display case with the careful selection of the sweets you're in the mood for, and which you'd like to enjoy with your French pronounced coffee, with a long E.
There's no pot of coffee here. One keeps faith with the many traditional Viennese coffee specialties. Of course, all served with a glass of fresh Viennese high spring water.
It smells of the finest vanilla, fine chocolate, cocoa and coffee.
Cuir de Nuit immediately reminds me of this old, elegant coffee house in the Palais Ferstel, which was once a luxurious temple of banking.
It's been a very long time since I bought a perfume from Yves Rocher. Normally, I tend to hang around in the niche segment. Why I made an exception here?
The trendy leather fragrances begin to interest me more and more. I mean now not the dignified leather scents of the old men's perfumes and also not the sexy leather scents of the Dominas. I don't feel like sweaty biker jackets either. I mean fine suede, gossamer, light and thin like the fine ladies' gloves that used to make the outfit of the woman of the world perfect.
Then one thing led to another: A 5-euro voucher for Yves Rocher including free shipping fluttered to me. I did not want to let the chance pass me by. Of course, I started looking at the fragrances - and came across La Collection, a series of eau de parfums consisting of Garden Party, a rose-mint fragrance by Marie Salamagne, Matin Blanc, a fresh bergamot-orange blossom fragrance by Fabrice Pellegrin, Autour de Minuit, a sensual fragrance by Amadine Clerc-Marie, Sel d'Azur, a fragrance of citrus notes and cedar by Marie Salamange, Voile d'Ocre, a spicy oriental by Ane Ayo and Fabrice Pellegrin, Plein Soleil, a bewitching tropical scent by Fabrice Pellegrin, Tropical Tentation, also a tropical scent by Amandine Clerc-Marie, Sable Fauve, a warm desert scent by Marie Salamange, Nouveau Genre, a patch by Marie Salamange and Cuir de Nuit by Amandine Clerc-Marie. This well-known perfumer has created fragrances for many important brands, including Kenzo, Chloé, Lalique, Mugler, Marc Jacobs, and Lancome.
I usually stay away from fragrances that have night - in all languages -, mystery, magic, love, seduction, hypnotic, etc. in their names, for good reason.
Here, I was intrigued by the leather. There is no leather note, but there is talk of "dark facets" that are "almost as animalic as leather". Well.
In the short advertising text on the website of Yves Rocher, which is aimed at the mainstream and actually does not do justice to the fragrance, it must be said honestly, target group-appropriate, as it is called in the jargon so beautiful, is mentioned twice that the fragrance is addictive or should make. Cuir de Nuit is also described as the "origin of a longing" - whatever that means. The fragrance character is described as "sensual vanilla". Well.
Cuir de Nuit deserved not only a slightly less populist description, but also a different name. Cuir de Nuit, "night leather," is not a particularly happy choice. The fragrance contains, as I said, no leather notes and very nocturnal - in the sense of erotic or sensual - it does not seem to me either.
Nevertheless, I have chosen him because I suddenly long for vanilla as a result of the days getting cooler, and I am interested in this illusion of leather.
The fragrance surprises at first with a distinct note of pink pepper. I was expecting vanilla and not this almost somewhat pungent pepper. This was new for me in a vanilla fragrance. But this wild phase does not last long. Very soon the scent gives itself as expected: soft and warming.
The vanilla here appears dark, dry and unsweet. I like. There is nothing sticky, pick-sweet, kitschy. It's a modern vanilla. Yet it retains its comforting, warm, soothing attributes. I like that, too.
Gourmandy the scent already seems, but in a new, less sweet way. The cocoa spreads bittersweet, subtly tart charm and pairs perfectly with the vanilla, which gradually enters its powdery, clean phase. Together with the aromatic cocoa or chocolate notes, it spreads a sense of well-being, security and something comfortingly enveloping.
The creamy fragrance has something ingratiating, pleasant, but also mysterious, because the vanilla just very self-confident and "different" than usual occurs. That it is nevertheless so soft and feminine, makes the charm.
Among the secrets of Cuir de Nuit is for me also a strange phenomenon: When I move and a breath of the fragrance touches me, I very often have the feeling to sniff coconut. It's like that. Even if I can not explain it to myself.
The durability is not endless, but acceptable. In its final phase, the fragrance seems a little synthetic sweet. But does not disturb.
The sillage I do not feel as intense. Also does not bother me. Because that makes the fragrance unobtrusive, suitable for everyday use and versatile wearable.
As a discreet autumn and winter fragrance - that's Cuir de Nuit for me - for well-discounted € 25, - for 100 ml this EdP is a welcome addition and variety to my numerous other fragrances for the cool season.
Of course, the perfume in its simple, pleasing flacon can not compete with expensive fragrances like my current favorite Baccarat Rouge by MFK or the ouds of this house.
I also did not expect.
Whether I'm imagining it or actually perceiving it: I really do perceive the suggestion of leather. Admittedly not as "animalistic" as in the questionable description of the manufacturer to read, but restrained, delicate and bright as in summer gloves made of thin goatskin. This has convinced me and at least made curious about other "leather fragrances" of the fine kind.
My next candidate I have already ersoukt - given the price for now as a filling. It is none other than the famous Cuir Beluga by Guerlain, which plays in a completely different category. I look forward to the test.
