Cuir Noir

Cuir Noir, a Rich Spicy Leather

Cuir Noir is a richer, darker leather from Armani’s exclusive line. Our version keeps that feel, opening with bergamot, saffron, and pink pepper before a rose, jasmine, leather, and spice heart settles over sandalwood, amber, and vanilla.

The Story Behind the Scent

Giorgio Armani built Cuir Noir as a bold, opulent leather, warmer and spicier than its softer sibling. The idea was refined power, leather with real depth.

That warm richness is its appeal. The saffron gives it a golden glow, the leather makes it bold, and the sandalwood and amber give it depth. Our interpretation follows that same luxurious path.
