Looking for something like Daim Blond, less fruity

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
Love the prominent suede note, have grown to dislike the overtly fruity aspect of the scent. Unless I wear it in very cold weather, it becomes cloying and actually makes me thirsty! Can anyone suggest a suede/light leather scent which is similar but without this aspect?

Have you tried Cuiron yet?

Cuir Mauresque maybe ?

I find that Creed's Royal English Leather has a somewhat fruity opening but the heart notes are smooth leather all the way. To be honest, I could never detect any suede or leather in Daim Blond.

Yeah, the apricot is VERY bright, and I think the whole thing just sort of has a leathery "quality" to it.

The difficulty will be to find the violet note in another fragrance ...

Histoires de Parfums has one I think but I'm not 100% sure, I must check.
An other one was Violette et le Gantier from Lili-Oh but it doesn't exist anymore.

Cuir Ottoman from Parfum d' Empire smells exactly like Daim Blonde suede/leather minus the apricot fruit note.

Hi! I just tested Parfumerie Generale's L'OISEAU DE NUIT, and fell in love. I'd been looking for a subtle leather fragrance, and I think I've found it! The listed notes are cistus labdanum, liqueur of davana, benzoin, and leather. There is a light sweetness that diminishes as the fragrance dries down. I didn't find it cloying at all.

rtamara41 - Cuir de Russie edt, or parfum?

I have samples of Royal English Leather, Cuir Ottoman, L'Oiseau de Nuit, and Dzongkha, so I will be trying them all shortly!
