Cuir Ottoman (EDP)

"Cuir Ottoman EDP is a unisex leather fragrance released in 2006 by Parfum d'Empire and created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato. Search sources consistently describe it as an oriental-leaning leather composition where iris softens and powders the force of the leather accord. Resinous materials such as benzoin, balsams, styrax, and incense give it a warm, smoky, slightly animalic and sensual backbone. Retail and review sources also frame it as inspired by Ottoman leathercraft and the mystery of the East, emphasizing elegance as much as power. The overall DNA is leathery, powdery, balsamic, smoky, and ambery, with floral touches from jasmine lending lift to the darker structure. It is widely regarded as one of the brand's standout leather scents and a niche classic from the mid-2000s."
