We fans of floral leather fragrances may be in the minority, but we’re passionate. There’s something about floral delicacy playing against rough, salty leather, and even better when the leather is softened by moss. If you love floral leathers, the Prism Parfums reissue of Geminesse won’t cause you to abandon your bottle of Chanel Cuir de Russie, but it’s worth a sniff — especially at its price. The carnation made me sneeze a little, but overall this was a VERY strong, warm, mossy and sexy leather-dominant fragrance, which I think could also be worn by men.

Besides the floral leathers I list here, I like Ann Gérard Cuir de Nacre, Balmain Miss Balmain, and Heeley Cuir de Pleine Fleur (and probably loads more I'm forgetting). Which floral leathers would you recommend to someone new to the genre?Deutsch | Español | Français | Čeština | Italiano | Русский | Polski | Português | Ελληνικά | 汉语 | Nederlands | Srpski | Română | العربية | Українська | Монгол | עברית

Hermès Cuir d’Ange adds heliotrope to the mix, with a blend that is a distant cousin to that found in Esprit d’Oscar and the original Oscar de la Renta parfum. I get a leather note from both de la Rentas, particularly Esprit d’Oscar, though it’s not listed in the notes for either. Violet and heliotrope are, however, so I’m not sure if I’m smelling leather or if it’s facets of the violet translating as such. Unforgettable is a really strong chypre fragrance. It has a real mid-century vibe and I suspect it may be a copy of another popular fragrance from that time. I discovered Avon Rapture is a copy of Mitsouko but I am not sure what other fragrances Unforgettable smells like. I get oak moss and a little peach and some other stuff like sandalwood or myrrh. And how stunning is that! This vintage bottle suits to a superb juice. I had in past two so similar to "Unforgettable", but muuuuch more expensive juices - vintage Miss Balmain and Jacques Fath's Ellipse. Both with super-strong personality, but I must tell you this fragrance is not far behind. Makes you feel polished, trimmed, chin up and go-ahead look. Mossy animalic leather, unapologetic at the start, as whole lot of 60-70-s formulas, "no-need for giggling" mode. But what happens next is a pure perfumery-magic - darkness dissolves and it is a dance of elegant cool florals, that live and act and breath together with you, yet soft leather touch at the base always remains with you, it is seriously beautiful complicated fragrance.Ha! The things we do for our kids. I can’t scent my linen cupboard with sandalwood soap (the really strong stuff you get from Indian grocers) because my son complains so much. I was starting to get excited about this one (I love Cuir de Lancome and Jolie Madame, and I wear Kelly Caleche edp fairly often as well) until you said “orange blossom” and “soapy.” OB frequently does that soapy thing on me, and I’m certain I wouldn’t enjoy soapy saddles on my wrist. The perfume is much nicer than the 1964 .5 ounce cologne. It is wearable and reminds me of the original Miss Dior perfume (in the Baccarat amphora bottle); a musky chypre. Really nice but I agree with the previous reviewer that it does have a really sharp note. Could it be musk?

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. This is a very interesting scent, coming as it does in the mid-1970s, as it belongs more in the late 1940s-early 1950s. vintage "LAKE LIFE" sign with Teal Accent, KAYAK poster for vintage lake house decor, female Kayaker, modern farmhouse, Kayaking Canvas Art

The first slam of Unforgettable is loud/Occur-like/leather/musky/chypre, but then the floral tames it way way down. Then you have a light floral leather skin musk. I bought a .5 ounce bottle of the cologne in a "snowflake" bottle (circa 1964). I tested it on a slip of acid-free resume paper. I wear a lot of vintage Guerlain, Chanel, and other French perfumes and vintage Guerlain colognes but I am a little shy about actually wearing old Avon cologne on my body.
