Cuir Grenat
A radiant leather with glimmers of amber adorns a powdery raspberry. As Christophe Raynaud explored Morocco, he stumbled upon a leatherworker's workshop. The air was thick with the aromatic fragrance of genuine leather as he watched the craftsman's meticulous work on vibrant red leather. The dim room was in stark contrast to the bright light outside. Struck by inspiration, he knew he had to create a fragrance that explored the interplay between light and shadow with a duo of leather and raspberry.
With Cuir Grenat, the perfumer aimed for a fragrance that gave the sensation of touch. Thus, the raspberry and leather can be seen as well as smelled; they are both aromas and scents, possessing unexpected oppositions and similarities.

Perfumer: Christophe Raynaud. His fragrances stand-out for their presence and radiance. They are elegant, yet bold enough to make a statement. “A beautiful sillage is the key element”, he notes. For this reason, his quest is to compose scents that linger – and are remembered. He immerses himself in the process of creation, pouring his passion into every accord and every note.
With body temperature, a perfume releases its scents. Hence, spray your fragrance on warm spots of your body as for instance on the neck and along the neckline, behind the knees, inside the elbows and wrists or behind the earlobes.
To prolong the scent of your perfume as you move, you may also spray it on your clothes from a certain distance by favouring natural materials such as wool, cotton and velvet.
