I love that full-on leather phase, but find that it fades quickly in many perfumes.

I actually like the 'dollar bill' vibe, too because there's a grittiness about it that roughs up any perfume.<br /><br />Cuir is a little 'much' in the beginning, but I think it might dry down to something you really like.

Can't seem to stop that, either.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-30533463292894395812011-03-03T15:39:05.134-07:002011-03-03T15:39:05.134-07:00Ha!

I love the drydown of Cuir, which is a long-wearing leathery amber on me, but it's in the pretty/delicious zone -- not dirty or ass-kicking.

Both are gorgeous, but I cannot bear either of them for long. <br /><br />How I have suffered. Oh, help me..my perfume is just too rich...*lands on fainting couch* ;)<br /><br />I'm going to try Cuir again now that you mentioned "dollar bills". I love the scent of bills, especially spankin' new ones. <br /><br />I enjoyed your phrase "...daffodils and dollar bills". It's got good rhythm and punchy alliteration!JoanElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356174815156243516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-48631170901031292192011-03-03T06:42:50.477-07:002011-03-03T06:42:50.477-07:00Cuir De Lancome is ace and mine has good tenacity/...Cuir De Lancome is ace and mine has good tenacity/ staying power. I bought it on a total whim which I had stopped doing because it was costing too much but in that case it's rare and I loved it instantly- I'm also not a big leathers girl but adore this, which makes no sense...Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.com
