Continuing through my samples:
Cuir Pleine Fleur (Fine Leather) by James Heeley is available from Lucky Scent $148 for 100 ml or $3 for .7 ml. They carry 10 of his fragrances.
Notes: violet, mimosa, birch, soft leather notes and vetiver
Now this is a very nice fragrance, right up my alley. I really love it.
The leather is softly present from the beginning, but as the fragrance settles in, within minutes, more of the soft florals show up. In a way, it is like Bond No. 9 Peace with leather. Or it is like a much softer version of Cabochard, once Cabochard settles down.
I think this could easily become a new favorite. To ramp up the leather, just re-spritz. It is very wearable and comforting to me.
I also like that there is some progression with it. You make a journey from lots of leather to floral to soft leather. Very, very nice.
Supposedly each of Jame Heeley's fragrances evolve around a main fragrance note, staying fresh and modern in interpretation. I can vouch for Fine Leather -- it is not your grandmother's Cabochard, nor is it the simplicity of Peace. I have not tried any other of his fragrances yet -- and I don't know if I have any in my sample stash.
How about you?
Do you wear this one? Have you tried it?
