Imagined by Francis Kurkdjian as a soft and sensual leather, the Christian Dior La Collection Privée Cuir Saddle disrupts the codes of the leather accord in perfumery, echoing the Dior It bag that reinterpreted leather in the 2000s. Like the bag, the fragrance becomes a sensual extension of the body, worn like a second skin.

“The Saddle bag is an extension of the body. You slip it under your arm and it becomes one with your body. I took my inspiration from the feeling of leather on skin, fused with the skin, caressing the skin,” said Francis Kurkdjian, Perfume Creative Director.

Cuir Saddle unfurls a woody floral trail beautifully inflected with a leather accord and luminous white flowers brighten airy woody notes. Soft and sensual, it melts into the skin in an organic body-to-body embrace.

Far from the raw, smoky nuances of the traditional leather accord, Cuir Saddle evokes an organic leather that becomes one with your skin. Like the Saddle bag, the fragrance becomes an extension of the body—a trompe-l’œil leather, worn like a second skin.

This fragrance and its companion travel spray feature limited-edition couture leather accents inspired by the iconic Dior Saddle bag.
