Cuir de Grasse(1930)
Molinard · Molinard in-house perfumers
At a glance
A leather composition from Molinard, opening on bergamot before a floral heart, closing on leather, musk, and oakmoss. Cuir de Grasse, Grasse Leather, ties the leather genre directly to Molinard's home region, an unusual pairing since Grasse was known primarily for flower cultivation rather than leather craft. Its oakmoss base gives it a mossier, more chypre-adjacent character than a purely animalic leather composition.

This scent's musk note is almost certainly synthetic — discovered by accident in 1888 while researching explosives.
