Cuir Moderne
When I heard about Apricot Brandy, I just had to go find some artisanal liqueur. The good stuff – WOW! it’s really delicious! That bottle went really fast… Apricot Brandy is the perfect opening for Cuir Moderne…
I was fascinated by the Osmanthus flowers, known as Osmanthus in China, and Sweet Olive here in the USA, sometimes. I was so intrigued that Osmanthus has floral, apricot, tobacco, and leather notes, all by itself. Cuir Moderne is built around fresh Osmanthus flowers, and extending it from the top to the bottom. A moderne twist is a slight raspberry note, that sends it singing out with “Let’s Go Play!”. This isn’t a sit still lump on a log. Cuir Moderne is for those out to make it happen…
The notes again are: Apricot Brandy, Fresh Osmanthus flowers, humming along with bits of Iris, Orangeblossom, and Jasmine, Patchouli, Tobacco, some Spices, Woods, Oud, Amber, a touch of Raspberry, and of course, Leather.
