Guerlain Cuir Intense Eau de Parfum is a statement in supple leather polished by light. A luminous osmanthus accent brings a soft apricot nuance to the opening, then deeper tones of cedar, sandalwood, and tobacco gather around a refined leather accord for a dark yet elegant trail that feels plush on skin and impressively long-lasting from first spray to final dry down.
Launch & Perfumer
First launched in 2019 as part of Les Absolus d’Orient and composed by Master Perfumer Thierry Wasser, Cuir Intense was reintroduced in 2024 within the Absolus Allegoria collection under the same author.
Olfactory Notes
Top: Osmanthus, Ylang Ylang.
Heart: Leather, Musk.
Base: Tobacco, Sandalwood, Virginian Cedar.
Story & Positioning
Conceived as leather between light and shadow, Cuir Intense explores contrast by setting a radiant osmanthus accord against darker tobacco and woods for a luxurious unisex leather signature. Originally housed in the Les Absolus d’Orient line and now placed in Absolus Allegoria, it keeps the core idea of a powerful leather illuminated by a floral glow, while the 2024 presentation emphasizes osmanthus with cedar, sandalwood, and tobacco for a sleek modern read on the theme. Lovers of smooth leather and warm tobacco will find kinship with icons such as Tom Ford Ombré Leather and Tobacco Vanille, making Cuir Intense an excellent choice if you want a refined French take in that space.
Bottle & Design
Presented in the emblematic Allegoria bottle, the current edition features a removable spray pump and a clear lacquered finish that facilitates recycling while keeping the silhouette elegant and substantial in hand.
