The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2005, Cuir Amethyste by Giorgio Armani is a Leather fragrance crafted by perfumer Michel Almairac. The composition opens with the bright green freshness of bergamot and coriander, which gives way to a heart of violet and rose. These florals provide a delicate contrast to the robust base notes of leather, patchouli, benzoin, labdanum, and bourbon vanilla, creating an olfactory experience that is both warm and smoky.
This fragrance is best applied lightly to pulse points — the warmth of your skin will enhance its smoky base notes. It has a long-lasting quality but remains close to the skin, making it perfect for evening wear when you want an understated yet sophisticated presence.
