David Jourquin’s nighttime perfume for women, Cuir Altesse is a spellbinding melody that has slipped out of a Left Bank cabaret.
It sways to the soothing sounds of the jazzy heydays. Sensual and moving, this elixir hums with the husky tones of an inspired trumpet. A tribute to the poet’s muse stretched out on a wonderfully weathered leather couch, it blazes like the lightning in her eyes that sparkle with the power of a spicy, ambry cocktail. She sketches smoky arabesques in the air with the tip of her glowing cigarette… this elegant aristocrat is absolutely intriguing, all the way down to the tips of her unforgettably long-gloved fingers.
A unique, magnetic, rebellious character. The base notes assert the sensual, Cyprusy scents of leather, benzoin and oak moss, with an ambry vibrato and the round warm of vanilla. The heart notes surprise and stimulate the senses with rose petals and oriental scents including jasmine, patchouly and cumin. Masterful, sparkling orange explodes in a glorious grand finale topping the experience off with a bouquet of spices laced with cardamom.
David Jourquin Cuir de R’eve & Cuir Altesse
For women who love men’s perfume … 2 fragrances wildly inspired by the roaring twenties!
Wildly 1920s!
Fascinated by the Roaring 20s and the short-haired women of that free-spirited era who seductively smoked cigarettes with elegant holders and long gloves on their slender fingers… intellectual yet incredibly sensual, these powerful felines were as at ease in an old leather Chesterfield as they were in a silky negligée… intriguing muses that fed the literary debates of the time, these fearless adventurers and warriors inspire…
David Jourquin has thus created Cuir de R’Eve and Cuir Altesse, two tom-boy fragrances that are as complementary as night and day, men and women…
As bright as they are dark, earthy yet airy, both ethereal and intense… they’re wildly feminine and terribly masculine and beautifully bold!
These inspiring fragrances dance along the shores of femininity, flitting from the sultry scent of cigars to the beguiling rhymes of infamous poems. They dare to use the power of patchouli that they stoke with the passion of red fruit by day and leather by night.
The new grail for those who love to wear their men’s perfume, this collection promises to make mischief. Its manly lines and robust container release exquisitely light, airy, round, fabulously feminine notes. Simply close your eyes and awaken to the surrealist whirlwind of Montmartre, the light of the Montparnasse cafés, the bustling life of the Left Bank…
