Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Crème de Cuir lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Crème de Cuir.
Palermo Perfumes 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 $23 it costs 90% less than Crème de Cuir.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
