A whisper of refined indulgence, Cuir Beluga from Guerlain’s L’Art et la Matière collection reimagines leather as something not bold and brazen, but soft, radiant, and impossibly elegant. This is not the scent of saddles or smoke—it’s the scent of suede gloves in a velvet-lined jewelry box.

The fragrance opens with a gentle powdery breeze—heliotrope and mandarin softening the entry like sunlight filtered through lace curtains. At the heart, supple leather unfolds—quiet and creamy, more cashmere than cowhide—intertwined with the plush sweetness of amber and immortelle. It settles into a decadent base of vanilla and musk, reminiscent of warm skin and white chocolate.
