Cuir Noir Giorgio Armani for women and men

Wish it lasted longer

This is very sophisticated ...... it is haute couture in a bottle. Sexy. This is truly not for cheap perfume lovers but I love it . Dont care about the price.

Hi, I have one of this in 100 ml to swap or sell. Looking for Tom Ford Italian Cypress or Armani Bois d'encens ONLY.

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.

scent: 2/10
longevity: 3/10
sillage: 3/10

The fourth fragrance in the series 1001 Nights adds a little mystery to people, which use it.

Cuir Noir is another fragrance for women and men, who are chic... and not (Thanks God!)for low-cost celebrities...

Rose,oud,leather and a slight boozy vanille is what I'm mainly picking up from this scent. To me it smells like cream which has a hint of a lacquer added to it. It's very linear and has little development. Not to my taste at all.

I am a female and I think for a woman this is absolutely a dark, sexy scent. Would smell also sexy on a man!

Sooooo disappointed in this one. No leather, No oud. Only vanilla. That's it. Nothing special about This vanilla either. Boring and too vanilla-y with nothing else!

Update: Tried this fragrance a few more times and I am now smelling a very pleasant, mellow oud along with the vanilla. Strange how the first few sprays from my decant did not have any smell but vanilla. Much nicer than at first!

I fell in love with this unique and mysterious one. Once again Armani Privé surprised me.
I happen to have a spare couple of it and am willing to sell them, if interested please mail me on alexis_dps@yahoo.fr
Cheers

My father used melted stannary and resin to glue together small metal parts of broken machines. I used to love to see how the metal melts and the resin melts and evaporates into a wonderful perfume. The melted resin is what this perfume reminds me of.
It smells a little bit like a toned down incense blended with sandalwood and rose oil. It's a beautiful oriental, not as powerful as I would expect of it but is has good staying power.
If only it were a little bit cheaper... :-

Its name is definitely misleading. A beautiful smell which is TOO soft and stays close to the skin.You have to make an effort to smell it. Smells warm and slightly dark, and i find it terribly linear. I can only smell some oud and guiac. Not worth the prive price tag. I was expecting a strong heady fragrance sexy and dark like the rest of the line but this is a tamed almost "enslaved" fragrance.fail.

The leather here is more implied for me, it's not as obvious as something like Tom Ford's 'Tuscan Leather', it's much more intricate; something you analyse, and then think 'leather'. Oud most definitely - it's an homage to the Arabian night. I really like it now, thinking back to my sampling of it. It's very dark, but perhaps not as heavy as Oud Royal. It is a unique interpretation of an increasingly ubiquitous ingredient, but perhaps in that respect, it's attempting to profit from the 'Private Collection/Blend/Range/Line/etc.etc.etc...' movement. As the modern market shifts from Western dominance to the rising East, fragrances like this (which cater more to their tastes) will become ever more.
