Cuir Ottoman was not as strong as I thought it would be. The leather scent is light and the jasmine is noticeable. I like it.
Iskander was pleasant, definitely citrusy, and the drydown was a pleasant light amber and musk.
The whole line is very nicely done, and I'd call all of them pleasant, but so far, none of them have really grabbed my heart.
Cuir Ottoman is so nice for someone who likes this pure leather odor. An hour after the application it undergoes into transformation and it reminds me of Black. It’s lasting power is very good in comparison with my Black EDT.
