The story behind the bottle.
Cuir Béluga, launched by Guerlain in 2005 and crafted by Olivier Polge, is a Leather fragrance that embodies the brand’s commitment to luxury and innovation. The composition opens with tangerine and aldehydes, creating a vibrant and fresh top note that cuts through the richness of immortelle and patchouli in its heart. As it settles, vanilla and suede emerge, grounding the scent in a warm and powdery base accented by heliotrope and amber. The result is a fragrance that feels both lasting and modern, reflecting Guerlain's legacy of using rare materials and synthetic components to create truly distinctive scents.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for an intimate warmth that builds on skin throughout the day. The powdery base notes will last longer than the initial tangerine top note, so avoid layering too heavily at once.
