Ormonde Jayne Cuir Imperial ~ fragrance review
How many leather fragrances do I own? Three. Chanel Cuir de Russie, Robert Piguet Bandit and Frédéric Malle Monsieur. Stand-out leathers are hard to find; many leather fragrances smell so similar.
Cuir de Russie is a perfume version of a sleek, quirky, man-made bibelot (my house is full of these, too; see my current lemming — the eyeball paperweight from L’Objet —below).

The daily lemming
I'll take two, please: the Ormonde Jayne Ta'if candle. "Ta´if is an intoxicating and audacious rose scent from the town of Ta´if which sits above the shores of the Red sea and overlooks the Arabian desert. This perfume dislikes daylight preferring dusk, the night, parties, promises and assignations. It is an opulent composition which makes a bold entrance and is confident enough to sweep everyone else to one side - a real belle of the ball. Ta’if Eau de Parfum is created with Ta’if rose oil and is an opulent composition which makes a bold entrance - flamboyant but sophisticated." $85 for 290g at Aedes.
