LA COLLECTION PRIVÉE CHRISTIAN DIOR CUIR SADDLE
The emblematic Dior “Saddle” bag that has stood the test of time with such elegance, inspired Francis Kurkdjian to create a fragrance that conveys the audacious style of this icon. “Cuir Saddle” is an unprecedented fragrance. It reveals a leather floral composition that is contemporary and unexpected — a sensual perfume to be worn like a second skin.
The immediately recognizable sensual and smoky leather accord is, in Cuir Saddle, tinged with new, soft and luminous floral facets. A velvety touch of suede gives the Cuir Saddle fragrance instant modern appeal. This supple and cool leather perfume wears a smile.
“So I wanted to create a trompe-l’oeil leather perfume that seemed “classic” in its charred smoky and woody accord, but which ended up surprising and delighting the senses through a touch of lightness that was completely unexpected. I wanted to move away from the connotations of heavy leather accords by modernizing their animal sensuality with an overdose of light. Smoky and woody notes are of course present, but they seem suffused with noble floral and musky notes. Cuir Saddle adds an unprecedented sensory facet to this traditional family. Its allure corresponds to the new Dior codes, in a fine leather accord that blossoms to melt into the skin like a sensual embrace.” Francis Kurkdjian, Perfume Creation Director
