More about Guerlain Cuir Béluga
Cuir Béluga by Guerlain is a 2005 unisex fragrance by perfumer Olivier Polge, part of the L'Art & La Matière collection. Its main accords are vanilla, powdery, leather, sweet, herbal, musky, almond, warm spicy and amber. The top notes are aldehydes and tangerine, a brief sparkling start, and the heart notes are immortelle and patchouli. The base notes bring the leather, wrapped in suede, vanilla, heliotrope and amber for a soft, powdery, slightly sweet finish. Guerlain Cuir Béluga is mostly worn in winter and fall, and night and evening wear lead, though a fair number also wear it by day. It suits someone who likes leather scents creamy and warm rather than sharp, and who wants a perfume for cold weather and after-dark plans. Those who prefer fresh, light fragrances will probably find it too cozy.
