A sophisticated leather that reads both airy and profound, Cuir Sacré opens with aromatic cardamom and cool cypress brightened by juniper berries, then gathers a dignified heart of incense and saffron over cedar leaf before easing into a textured base where vetiver, leather, and cypriol create a dry, elegant trail that feels modern, polished, and quietly magnetic.

Story and Positioning
Conceived as an Andalusian dream, Cuir Sacré nods to the heritage of Córdoba’s Cuir de Cordoue or Gold Leather, translating that artisanal legacy into a refined union of dry woods, saffron warmth, and supple leather within the house’s Black Collection. For those who enjoy elegant leather and wood pairings with green and resinous facets, it is often mentioned alongside creations like Encre Noire À L’Extrême, Irish Leather, and Sycomore.
Bottle and Design
An oval glass flacon with pebble-smooth contours shows a warm golden liquid threaded with tiny leaf flakes that drift and settle at the heel. Sunburst ribs are molded into the glass and seem to radiate from a small square black plaque edged in gold, keeping the face crisp and uncluttered. A high-gloss black domed cap crowns a short metal collar and feels precise when lifted. The presentation case is matte black with an elegant art-deco fan motif and a framed label, mirroring the bottle’s black and gold palette for a refined, gift-ready look.
