Cuir de R'Eve by David Jourquin is a Leather fragrance for women. Cuir de R'Eve was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Cécile Zarokian. Top notes are Pink Pepper, Cloves and Bergamot; middle notes are Iris, Heliotrope and Red Berries; base notes are Leather, Vanilla and Patchouli. This Eve emerging from her dream has the delightful charm of a morning stroll along the banks of the Seine, and the and the rascality of a little hat dancing off in the wind above the bouquinistes’ iconic stands, spreading its delicate yet intense, floral yet powdery aura all around. The elegance and vivaciousness of a powerful quick-witted woman, the intensity of her gaze, the sassy shine of her cherry lips, the power of her personality, her daring nonchalance… A liberated, passionate, powerful and luminous woman. From a warm bed of patchouli, leather, vanilla and musk arise the delightfully floral notes of heliotrope and Siberian iris electrified with ripe red fruits. In their wake, a delicate yet intense cloud emerges – bold and impertinent, with a joyous note of bergamot and a powdery constellation of pink peppercorns, wrapped in the elegance of clove.

How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Leather
Leather is more than just an aroma; it’s a texture, a memory of old books or vintage leather goods. Its scent can be earthy and warm, sometimes tinged with the subtle smokiness of tanning processes, evoking a sense of heritage and craftsmanship.
Vanilla
Vanilla is the scent of childhood memories and cozy nights by the fire. Derived from the cured pods of orchids native to Mexico, it has a rich sweetness that can range from creamy and milky in texture to deep and almost smoky. Its versatility makes it a staple in perfumery, capable of adapting its character to complement both light citrus notes and heavier woody accords.
Patchouli
Patchouli emanates from the leaves of Pogostemon cablin, a bush native to Southeast Asia. Its scent is deeply woody with hints of musty earth, warm spices, and a subtle sweetness that can be both comforting and complex. This versatile note has been a staple in perfumery for decades, often used to evoke feelings of nostalgia and grounding.
