Since 2004, Giorgio Armani has interpreted the philosophy of his Haute Couture collections in the form of exclusive fragrances with tailor-made compositions, precious ingredients, and uncompromising perfection. From precious fabrics to extraordinary ingredients, from simple lines to authentic compositions – unique elements become expressive fragrances that are as unforgettable as the exclusive Haute Couture creations. The Armani/Privé Haute Couture fragrances currently comprise four collections: LES EAUX, LA COLLECTION, LES TERRES PRECIEUSES, and LES MILLE ET UNE NUITS.
And thus, the curtain rises on CUIR NU, the fragrance premiere of the LES MILLE ET UNE NUITS collection. Inspired by the Italian tradition of artisanal leather craftsmanship, CUIR NU is a luxurious olfactory experience, a powerful fragrance with the sensuality of soft leather on bare skin. CUIR NU interweaves a captivating leather accord with a precious oud accord, underscored by a subtle rose and coffee accord.
THE FRAGRANCE EXPERIENCE: SENSUAL LEATHER, PERCEIVED UP CLOSE
Composed by perfumer Delphine Lebeau (IFF), whose sophisticated formulas interpret noble textures as fragrances, CUIR NU immediately captivates with its hypnotic appeal: The impression of precious, supple leather on bare skin exudes a captivating sensuality. The structure of the leather accord in the top note is combined with an intensely deep and surprising component – the warm, delicate roasted notes of smoky coffee extract.
As CUIR NU unfolds, the heart note reveals the silky touch of rose essence, the unique blend of rose essential oil and clarified floral water created specifically for Armani/Privé. In exciting contrast to these fresh botanical essences—a tribute to the botanically scented leathers of the Italian Renaissance—CUIR NU unfolds layer upon layer, revealing ever deeper and more sensual notes that permeate the fragrance’s entire development. The magical allure of the woody-smoky oud accord, with its animalic note, underscores the fragrance’s elegant power; the luscious warmth of a resinous-vanilla amber accord underscores its woody facets.
THE BOTTLE: MYSTERIOUS AND GOLD-CROWNED
CUIR NU is presented in the iconic, opaque designer bottle of the LES MILLE ET UNE NUITS collection: It captivates with its smooth, matte feel and the signature Armani/Privé cap in elegant, shimmering gold.
