Cuir Andalou
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, in a dimly lit bar where oud and leather mingle.

Cuir AndalouHow it wears

The story behind the bottle.
Cuir Andalou by Rania J was launched in 2016 and is a composition that blends the ruggedness of leather with the smoky warmth of oud. The fragrance opens with a bold leather accord, juxtaposed with the subtle sweetness of violet and powdery notes. This creates an intriguing tension between the raw and the refined. At its heart, Cuir Andalou captures the essence of the Andalusian landscape — warm, earthy, and evocative.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The smoky and warm spicy notes will develop gradually over time, so it’s best not to layer too much initially. This fragrance is particularly suited for cooler evenings when the base of oud and powdery accords can fully unfold.
