Cuir Nilam 100 ml – Dark Patchouli over Leather, Rose and Tobacco
Discover Cuir Nilam by Atelier Materi, a Unisex Eau de Parfum that reimagines patchouli through a sophisticated leather composition, highlighting its dark, earthy and animalic facets with rose and tobacco.
The fragrance opens with Cardamom and Violet Leaf, develops into a heart of Rose and Leather, and settles over Patchouli and Tobacco.
Atelier Materi explains that Nilam is the Indonesian name for patchouli. In Cuir Nilam, perfumer Céline Perdriel moves the material away from its traditional image and dresses it in a bold leather character with distinctly Parisian elegance.
Created by Céline Perdriel, Cuir Nilam launched in 2023. Atelier Materi officially categorises the fragrance as Woody, Leather, while specialist sources describe it as a leathery, woody and spicy Unisex composition.
