Guerlain Absolus Allegoria Cuir Intense is a rich, powerful leather fragrance, softened by osmanthus and warm woods like cedar and sandalwood.
Guerlain Absolus Allegoria Cuir Intense Eau De Parfum Spray is a sophisticated and powerful rendition of leather, designed for those who appreciate a fragrance that is both bold and remarkably refined. Part of Guerlain's "Absolus Allegoria" collection, it delves deeper into the richness of natural materials, offering a more intense and complex experience than its lighter "Aqua Allegoria" counterparts. This fragrance is a journey into the heart of a luxurious leather workshop, balanced with intriguing and softer facets.
The composition opens with the subtle, apricot-like sweetness of osmanthus, offering a delicate contrast to the dominant leather accord. This floral touch is swiftly embraced by the heart of the fragrance, where the "intense" leather note truly shines, creating a warm, supple, and slightly animalic character. It's a smooth, well-rounded leather, avoiding any harsh or overly synthetic nuances, instead evoking the comforting scent of fine, worn leather goods.
As Cuir Intense settles, a base of tobacco, cedar, and sandalwood emerges, providing a grounding warmth and an added layer of sophistication. The tobacco note is dry and subtly smoky, complementing the leather without overwhelming it, while the woods lend a creamy, comforting depth. The overall impression is one of timeless elegance and quiet confidence, making it a compelling choice for both men and women who seek a distinguished and long-lasting leather fragrance.
