“Strong feelings and real love at first sight for this powerful and warm fragrance. It may not appeal to everyone but it has character, like me. In love with the Absolus d’Orient, I made Cuir Intense my scent, my identity, my love”.

Céline, France

Thierry Wasser has explored every facet of leather to produce a refined creation, which evolves in a balance between the power of dark, woody, leather notes and the soft radiance of sweet and delicate Osmanthus and apricot undertones.

The Cuir Intense bottle comes in a deep brown colour. A sumptuous hue that orchestrates an elegant contrast with the gold details of the bottle: its cap, its passementerie ribbon and its label, whose arabesque touches are taken from the Maison's heritage.

A sensual potion, this floral, fruity fragrance immediately transports you to the heart of the perfume. Combining red fruit notes with feminine violet and orange blossom, alongside velvety and luxurious iris, its accord is sultry and voluptuous.

Designed by Raymond Guerlain in 1912, its iconic “inverted heart” bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.
