603 CUIR SAHIB

603 Cuir Sahib is a unisex extrait de parfum by Bon Parfumeur, the Parisian house of Ludovic Bonneton, and part of the Les Extraits collection. It is a deep, enveloping woody leather scent that captures the spirituality of one of India's most magnetic places.

The Fragrance

The inspiration is the Golden Temple of the Sikhs in Amritsar, the Harmandir Sahib, a sanctuary covered in gold leaf where every morning the scent of the offerings spreads and lingers between the walls. Ludovic Bonneton returned there every day during his journey, drawn by its sacred, hypnotic atmosphere. The perfume turns that memory into a warm, protective fragrance, like an embrace. The first digit of the number indicates the olfactory family: 6 stands for the woody scents, here interpreted in a leathery, spicy key. It is signed by Mylène Alran, who made a memory of India the envelope of a spicy fragrance.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is spicy and luminous: nutmeg is softened by violet leaf and brightened by a touch of fresh lemon. In the heart an aromatic accord of clary sage and cypress unfolds, crossed by the balsamic swirls of incense and the resinous depth of cistus labdanum. The base is a soft embrace: leather melts into tonka bean, which brings hints of almond, honey and vanilla, while cashmeran, cypriol and patchouli add warmth and great longevity.

Who We Recommend 603 Cuir Sahib To

We recommend 603 Cuir Sahib to those who love leathery, resinous perfumes but want them soft and refined, and to anyone looking for a fragrance with a mystical, enveloping character. It is ideal in the cooler seasons, for evenings and important occasions, yet its elegance makes it suitable for every day too. Leaning masculine, it suits everyone.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Cuir Sahib is the perfume we recommend to people who think they do not like leathery perfumes: here the character is soft, warm, almost velvety, and it tells a story instead of imposing itself. It has one of the most interesting evolutions in the collection, and every hour on the skin offers something new.
