The review
On paper, Novillo Leather is a strong bet if you want Crème de Cuir for less.
Montagne Parfums sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Crème de Cuir's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $40 it costs 82% less than Crème de Cuir.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Montagne Parfums 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 cardamom, bergamot and almond, turns to iris, leather and jasmine, and settles into Tonka Bean, vanilla and sandalwood. That is the brief Novillo Leather is working from.
