As the springtime air becomes full of freshness, let Cuir Saddle—Dior Beauty’s newest addition to its ‘La Collection Privée’ line—steal the season. Just as the iconic Dior Saddle bag has stood the test of time, it’s the same level of elegance the bag exudes that inspired Christian Dior Parfums Perfume Creation Director Francis Kurkdjian to create the new scent. With a leather and floral composition crafted to be worn like a second skin, the fragrance’s contemporary and sensual tone makes it an alluring choice for the season. “I wanted to move away from the connotations of heavy leather accords by modernizing their animal sensuality with an overdose of light,” explains Kurkdjian. “Smoky and woody notes are, of course, present, but they seem suffused with noble floral and musky.” Encompassing the perfect swirl of leather and floral scents, Cuir Saddle serves as a nod to the ancestral legacy of the scent industry and to modern perfumery.
