The review

On paper, Cuir de Milano is a reasonable bet if you want Italian Leather for less.

The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Italian Leather's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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 leather, tomato leaf and vanilla, turns to galbanum, orris root and labdanum, and settles into leather, vanilla and benzoin. That is the brief Cuir de Milano is working from.

Top

  • leather
  • tomato leaf
  • vanilla

Heart

  • galbanum
  • orris root
  • labdanum

Base

  • leather
  • vanilla
  • benzoin
For the one who pairs supple leather with sun-warmed tomato leaf and vanilla, an unusual green, botanical take on smooth leather.
