The review

On paper, Cosmopolitan London is a strong bet if you want Cuir Intense for less.

Emir sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cuir Intense's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $37 per 100ml it costs 81% less than Cuir Intense — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Emir publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on saffron, bergamot and pink pepper, turns to leather, rose and iris, and settles into leather, amber and patchouli. That is the brief Cosmopolitan London is working from.

Saffron-spiced leather over amber; the Guerlain workshop rendered in tanned hide.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
