Frangipani and orange blossom over mandarin and pomegranate, with a leafy patchouli base keeping it grounded. It reads bright and fruity-floral, easy and summery, with a soft earthy finish.

The Warm Surprise

Warm and quietly adventurous.

The warmth draws people in. The choice surprises them. That combination is rarer than it looks.

Riskmid-range0.45

Cuir Bourbon unisex sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 85th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.52

Cuir Bourbon unisex carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 57th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.56

Cuir Bourbon unisex carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 74th percentile for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
