Cuir de Cerise

Description 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 Character Amber-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 Pyramid Top: Sour Cherry and Saffron Heart: Leather, Osmanthus, Apricot and Olive Base: Nagarmotha and Agarwood Performance Longevity : strong, in line with Bortnikoff's other agarwood-based extraits. Sillage : moderate and skin-close. Projection : a tart, smoky halo early on, narrowing to a warm leather-oud skin scent.

FAQ Is the oud real? Yes. Agarwood anchors the base alongside nagarmotha. Is it unisex? Yes. Does it smell like cherry candy? No. The cherry is tart and sour rather than sweet, and it's quickly balanced by leather and saffron, so it reads more sophisticated than gourmand. How new is this fragrance? It's one of Bortnikoff's newest releases, launched in 2026.
