The story behind the bottle.
Crème de Cuir by BDK Parfums, launched in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Violaine Collas, marries the freshness of citrus with the warmth of musk and leather. The fragrance opens with bright notes of pineapple, grapefruit, and bergamot, creating a vibrant contrast against the soft suede and sandalwood base. This composition is neither traditionally masculine nor feminine, embodying BDK Parfums' commitment to distinctive and narrative-driven fragrances that blend reality with fantasy.
This fragrance blooms gradually on skin, so a second light spritz after an hour can enhance its development. It reads best close to the skin rather than across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings or daytime wear.
