The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013 by Le Labo, Cuir 28 Dubai is a fragrance that blends the earthy and smoky qualities of leather with woody and musky accords. Nathalie Lorson crafted this composition to evoke the essence of urban sophistication and lasting elegance. The scent opens with aromatic freshness before giving way to an animalic warmth, creating a complex yet harmonious balance.
Apply Cuir 28 Dubai in light layers to allow its nuances to unfold gradually. The aromatic opening notes dissipate quickly, so a second application after an hour can help maintain the full depth of its earthy and smoky character.
