Atelier des Ors was created out of a desire to create differently and to express a personal vision of French haute parfumerie. To create a fragrance dedicated to precious essences and the most exclusive and fascinating raw material. The gold flakes that are in each of the fragrances is a gilded caress that mingles with the rare essences. Its spiritual and symbolic dimension is an integral part of their fragrances. The nose behind all of the fragrances is Marie Salamagne.
Cuir Sacré is reminiscent of a day strolling through the Old Town of Cordoba. The leathery wood notes glorified with saffron and vetiver revive the cordovan leather heritage often referred to as Gold Leather. It features top notes of juniper berries, cardamom and cypress; middle notes of frankincense, saffron and cedarwood; and base notes of vetiver, nagarmotha and leather. Cuir Sacré is an eau de parfum, edp.

Perfume Posse The Non-Blonde Kafkaesque
Fragrantica: "Opens with a spicy/smoky cypress, that will cool down to a beautiful suede note. In the base a beautiful vetiver note will steal the show, supported by woods, and still a hint of leather."
Fragrantica: "Unique, mysterious and evocative, this is a very different take on a leather perfume that evokes memories of a horseback journey along tree laden forests. Very unusual and very interesting. Enjoy!"
