The Story
Cuir No. 142 is a bold leather cologne that feels like a worn leather jacket on a cool evening. It opens with a bright burst of bergamot and pink pepper, then settles into a smoky, animalic leather heart. The base is warm and woody with patchouli and musk. It's sophisticated, edgy, and surprisingly wearable for a leather scent.
