The Story Behind Crème de Cuir

Crème de Cuir was born from a desire to reinterpret leather not as a bold or animalic material, but as something light, creamy, and modern. Inspired by late summer turning into fall, this fragrance captures that transitional time of year when nature softens, colors warm, and the air is still bright with sun—but subtly more introspective.

David Benedek, founder of BDK Parfums, imagined a vegetal, milky leather, draped over skin like a soft cashmere scarf. It’s the kind of scent that whispers luxury without shouting, perfect for those intimate moments when confidence lies in calmness rather than intensity.

This story of refined transformation makes Crème de Cuir not just a perfume, but an emotional journey—a serene escape from the ordinary into the world of contemporary olfactory elegance.

The Perfumer: Violaine Collas

Violaine Collas, the renowned nose behind Crème de Cuir, is celebrated for her ability to balance modernity with sensuality. A senior perfumer at Mane, one of the world’s leading fragrance houses, she specializes in working with texture and contrast.

For this fragrance, Collas masterfully softened the traditional leather accord by introducing creamy woods, musks, and citrus. The result is a scent that wears like second skin—airy, luminous, and soft to the touch, with layers that evolve smoothly over time.

Her composition highlights both technical skill and artistic vision, transforming leather into something almost gourmand, silky, and inviting, without ever veering too sweet or heavy.

Who Is Crème de Cuir For?

This fragrance is ideal for those who appreciate nuanced, elegant perfumes with a minimalist aesthetic. Whether you’re a fan of leather scents or typically avoid them, Crème de Cuir offers a fresh take that’s soft enough for daily wear, yet luxurious enough for special moments.
