    Sublime is the only word that can be used to describe this incredible natural product of Payan Betrand. Fleur de Cuir is a co-distillation of fruity osmanthus flowers into a molecular distillation of finest cedarwood oil. The end result is the most perfect balance of floral and woody notes in a purely natural extraction. Even more extraorardinary is the wonderfully complex almost oud-like leather top note which is utterly addictive. This is truly one of the masterpieces of modern perfume science.

    Fleur de Cuir is best used boldly — up to 5.035% of your finished product for both IFRA 50 and IFRA 51. Fleur de Cuir is so good you can simply add florals and musk and sign off on a completed fragrance.

    The cost of this blend is extremely good, making liberal use possible. And while our 4g price is afforable for most, we are also offering 1g sample pricing because everyone needs to try this. Even if you think you don't need or want it, add a 1g sample to your cart. 

    Fraterworks® is strictly a reseller of this product and is neither an agent nor official distributor for Payan Bertrand.

    General Information

    Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.

    All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

    Complex. Stunning. Fleur de Yes!

    First off, let me just say Jamie at FraterWorks has done a simply stellar job curating a selection of hard to source materials. These materials arrive well packaged with zero leaks (from NZ to USA!), and with “Wow, that’s fast!” shipping. So, thank you, Jamie. Now, on with the Fleur de Cuir show…beautiful. The duo distillation of cedar and Osmanthus is as ingenious as it is rewarding. There is a leather note that leans animalic/castoreum as well as an oud note that immediately hinted to memory, Firmenich’s Oud Anokha Base. There is a very soft undertone of fruit from the Osmanthus that lies between the wood grain. The cedar/cedrol aroma really comes through creating this interesting dry, leathery cedar aroma that reminds one of a finer, more natural Kephalis and Vertofix Coeur. Like I said, complex. This raw material is a true gem for the senses!

    Interesting, Cedar Forward

    For me, this material lacked those leathery, animalic or fruity/floral/oud aspects, and smells really strongly of cedar. For that reason I found it a little less interesting, but for the price it's worth having.

    An amazing material

    The description for this material is absolutely correct, a sublime material that could form a unique masculine fragrance on its own.

    To my nose it is a warm, animalic leathery, and woody scent. There are slight floral and oud nuances to it. I find it perfectly balanced between leather and wood. Additional materials could push this material in either direction.
    My only gripe is that almost any additional material I add to fleur de cuir results in a scent inferior to fleur de cuir alone.

    During experimentation I've found it performs well as the main star of a fragrance or as a way to blend floral and woody notes. Adding smoky notes to fleur de cuir could create a unique incense accord

    Amazing multifaceted material

    The reputation of Fleur de Cuir preceded its scent and I ordered some with great anticipation. It did not let me down! What first greets my nose is an animalic scent, like a light oud. It is then by turns fruity, leathery, and woody. The fruity osmanthus aspect becomes more apparent in dilution with alcohol. Simply beautiful.
