Cuir Cuba Intense by Nicolaï Paris is a warm and elegant fragrance with a lovely ‘sillage’ and long lasting base notes on skin, with Mme Nicolai’s signature.
Memories of her childhood inspired perfumer Patricia de Nicolai to make Cuir Cuba Intense: Cuba, the sunny and lively island Cuba where tobacco plants grow.
Quote Patricia: “Although I hate smoking, I have always loved the scent of tobacco leaves used in the making of cigars. When I was a child, at my parents’, I appreciated when I was asked to go and collect the cigar box. What a pleasure to open it and to smell these delicate scents … It was a fragrance that really transported me! Many years after, I have found out this scent in my lab thanks to the tobacco leaf absolute, the starting point of Cuir Cuba Intense.”
The French description makes it sound so seductive: “Cuir Cuba Intense, le nouveau parfum envoûtant de NICOLAÏ. Cuir Cuba Intense est un accord tabac-cuir sur lequel se glissent une base réglisse et un coeur floral magnolia, ylang. La sauge, la lavande et la menthe crépue signent un départ frais et montant. Un coeur épicé, cumin et coriandre, se développe sur des notes boisées, patchouli et cèdre, qui s’épanouissent sur un fond animal, foin coupé.”
Patchouli, Tobacco, Ylang ylang, Licorice, Coriander, Hay, Star anise, Sage, Cedarwood, Lavender, Magnolia, Musk, Mint
