Leathery sour cherry and saffron over leather
Cuir de Cerise ("cherry leather"), created by Dmitry Bortnikoff, is one of Bortnikoff's most recent releases, an ode to fruited leather that opens with tart sour cherry and saffron before a leather-osmanthus heart unfolds over apricot and olive. The base settles into a deep, textured accord where genuine agarwood meets smoky nagarmotha, leaving a refined, slightly earthy woody trail.
Scent CharacterOriental-woody with a fruited-leather signature: tart cherry against smoky, animalic leather, softened by apricot and osmanthus, then grounded in real agarwood and nagarmotha in the base.
Fragrance PyramidTop: Sour Cherry and Saffron
Heart: Leather, Osmanthus, Apricot and Olive
Base: Nagarmotha and Agarwood
