Is Cuir de Lancôme still in production?+−
No, this fragrance has been discontinued. While it is no longer part of Lancôme’s active catalog, it remains a sought-after "hidden gem" that occasionally surfaces in specialty shops or through collectors.
How does this compare to other famous leather scents like Chanel Cuir de Russie?+−
Cuir de Lancôme is generally considered softer and more floral. While it shares a smoky birch foundation with the Chanel classic, it lacks the heavy animalic growl, opting instead for a creamy, powdery finish thanks to the iris and saffron.
What is the best time of year to wear this?+−
This fragrance is most popular during the fall and winter. The warm, smoky accords of birch and styrax are particularly well-suited to crisp air and cooler temperatures.
Can this be worn to the office or is it strictly for evenings?+−
While it has the sophistication for a night out or a formal evening, its moderate projection and smooth floral-leather blend make it a popular choice for professional or business settings. It is considered elegant rather than provocative.
