The Story

Cuir Cuba Intense by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur was launched in 2014 and is the creation of Patricia de Nicolai. This fragrance is a complex interplay of spicy, aromatic, and tobacco notes, anchored by a rich leather base. The composition opens with licorice and star anise, which blend seamlessly into a heart of lavender and ylang-ylang, adding depth and warmth. The base notes of tobacco, hay, patchouli, cedar, civet, and liatris create a luxurious smokiness that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips

Apply this parfum in small amounts — the richness of its notes means it projects well and lasts throughout the day. It's best suited for evenings or cooler weather when the warm and spicy accords can truly shine without being too overpowering.

The story behind the bottle.

The quiet intensity of an after-hours study, where the scent of aged books and smoldering tobacco mingles with the faint aroma of spices.
