Custodio d’Avo

Anything and all things “cuir de russie” win my full attention, anytime! – this revisited Godet was an excitement to find, and a blessing. Godet’s cuir, I have learnt, isn’t the reedition of their 20’s fragrance wih same name but an entirely new construction from 2017. Still, it has a touch of another-time which in my book is all-good, all-correct and all-deepening.

The patchouli and cumin notes are very distinguishing; they are very dominant in the opening and make this cuir earthy and soapy-clean. At the same time (and I know this will sound crazy!!??), I don’t get leather here as a note, I rather get-TO leather as an arquitectural construction of the overall fragrance; here leather is a smoked-up drawing that is suggested. It has its beauty. Very curious about other Godet fragrances… will explore!
