The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Cuir de Chine by Les Indemodables was launched in 2016 and is a creation of perfumer Florence Fouillet Dubois. This fragrance opens with a blend of fruity and floral notes, but it's the subtle tobacco and aromatic elements that anchor its complexity. The scent evolves into a soft spicy and white floral accord, balanced by sweet and lactonic undertones, creating an intriguing mix of warmth and elegance. It is neither overtly masculine nor feminine, making it a perfect unisex choice.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The tobacco and aromatic notes project well, but the sweet and lactonic undertones take time to develop fully on skin. Best suited for evenings or cooler weather when you want a scent that evolves throughout the day.
