Pride in a bottle. Fine leather with unwavering confidence.

The olfactory signature
Elemi oil, an often overlooked resin that will make your chest puff out with its fresh aromatic facets.

Description
An aromatic lemony freshness paves the way for stunning and elegant leather, its woody power tamed by a white floral heart.

Context
Paul Vacher knew his way around leather: in the early 1960s, Christian Dior commissioned him for a powerful and haughty women’s fragrance. The perfumer composed what would later become Diorling, a leathery chypre scent. Earlier in his career, he also co-created Lanvin’s Scandal, a dark leathery scent.
As a tribute to these landmarks of the twentieth century, Le Galion has created Cuir, robustly elegant, between emancipated femininity and demonstrative masculinity.

A word from our perfumer
“The leather accord takes up a lot of space, supported by the ambergris and the sandalwood. The lily and the musk bring softer inflections to add a certain amount of refinement, the brand’s signature.”
