Orris and osmanthus over a smooth leather, powdery and slightly fruity with a suede softness. It's refined and a little austere, a floral leather that feels both elegant and quietly bold.

How Cuir de Chine smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Cuir de Chine reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, and keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere.

Warmthwarm, close0.81

Cuir de Chine reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 87th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.46

Cuir de Chine sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 37th percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.46

Cuir de Chine sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 87th percentile for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Texturemid-range0.53

Cuir de Chine sits mid-range on texture, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 62nd percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.28

Cuir de Chine keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 29th percentile for sweetness across 5,322 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.
