The story behind the bottle.
Cuir Nu by Giorgio Armani, crafted by perfumer Delphine Lebeau and launched in 2025, is a composition that balances the richness of leather with the warmth of coffee and spices. The fragrance opens with notes of cardamom and coffee, creating an aromatic tension that adds depth to the smoky leather heart. As it evolves, damask rose and amber introduce a subtle sweetness, while tonka bean and labdanum ground the scent in earthy, animalic undertones.
Apply Cuir Nu with one to two sprays, as it develops its full character within an hour. The smoky leather notes are most prominent close to skin, making this fragrance ideal for an intimate office environment rather than a crowded space.
