NEWSFLASH: The folks at MiN New York have lost their minds!!!! They have rescinded the 10ml vial.
Instead………they are offering a 100ml FULL BOTTLE! (tester, so you probably won’t get the little red corset. And who cares!)
everyone who has entered is still in, of course. For those of you just tuning in, be sure to go on FB and ‘like’ the Perfume Posse and MiN New York for a chance to win.
(Musette is running around, frantically…trying to figure out how to change her name! LOL!. just kidding…but ..just barely!)
After a Summer of near-Biblical heat (I’m not sure the Bible talks a lot about hot weather..but it does talk about Hell. July and August qualified.But after two months of Scorched Earth we are now in storybook Autumn temps: cool nights and early mornings (making waking up both a pleasure and a bit difficult….hard to crawl out from under the duvet. Yes, THE DUVET! Snuggly!). And those glorious blue skies. Leaves are still green but the asters and mums are blooming and the hummingbirds are fluffing up, prepping to head on out for warmer climes. I am famous for loving ambers and heavy-hitters in the extreme heat but in Autumn? ….. there is something so…….right..about leather scents in Autumn. It’s like that snazzy swing coat, in buttery-soft leather, that will feel like tissue paper in February. In these perfect Autumn Days, though, it makes me feel like a queen. I find myself reaching for leather flowers (Neil Morris Leather Garden), Arabian Leather (Parfums d’Empire Cuir Ottoman, though I still think this one works best in triple digits), slicey leather (Bandit, with that acidic/acerbic lemon. Like sitting in a private train car with the most impossibly chic woman – friend? enemy? frenemy? you don’t know – you only know you want to be Just Like Her, with her mean self. But you know you never will…..then you look across the table…and you are REALLY taken with her sensuous, lynxlike cousin, Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Cuir Fetiche. She takes ‘aspirational’ to 11, in that way a Frenchwoman can make a white cotton shirt look like…..I don’t know..a Dior ballgown? This perfume reminds me of a Parisienne friend of my then-neighbor in Chicago; she was of ‘average’ looks, wore jeans and a sweater. Yet no one could take their eyes off her, she was just so polished and chic. Cuir Fetiche is like that, for me. I raved about this scent awhile back in this post. My love for it hasn’t changed one iota. I still think it’s one of the most sensual perfumes around and only wish I could rock those leather opera gloves once again. And maybe the red leather bustier. But for now I’ll aim for the gloves.
Now. You’re probably thinking ‘umm, Musette? Honey? You ALREADY reviewed this! We KNOW you love it. Hon, maybe you need to take your meds?!”. Yeah, yeah – meds in a minute. But what you don’t know, my darlings, is that the lovely Mindy Yang, of MiN New York, has decided to share a little of the Cuir Fetiche leather love with the Posse! It’s a 10ml vial (and let me just tell you how unhappy I am that I cannot enter this contest!). To enter all you have to do is go on Facebook and ‘like’ both Perfume Posse and MiN New York and we’d love it if you would leave a little comment! If you are not a Facebook user, that’s okay – We are not haters, no sirree! Just leave a comment here: what’s your favorite leather? (if you hate ’em ALL? say so!) . (I put the clickety-links in for you so all the heavy lifting’s done!). Heck, I’d dance the Mamooshka for 10ml of Cuir Fetiche. I am jealous.
The winner will receive the fabulous juice from MiN New York so you need to be okay with me giving them your name/address.
Did I mention I am jealous? Whoever wins this had better lace up a bustier in my honor – that goes for you guys, too. If Mario can do it, so can you!
(and as weird as this is going to sound, he looks sort of……fabulous! This is from a Nip/Tuck episode. I never saw the show but…don’tcha just wonder what they nipped/tucked? Yikes!!!!!
Didn’t see a winner on this one,yet! still hoping! Teehee. Love leather.
Azuree! It’s almost fresh. Lot a hot sports car in the summer!
I love leather and inscence with some vanilla thrown in….right now I am Chanel Cuir de Russie, but I am in love with many leathers, although there are some I have to turn my nose up at. Thanks for the drawing!!!!! Full of excitement here….and by all means I would wear the corset!!!!
My have leather scent of the moment is Dzing! In fact, wearing my sample today I was just searching for a used bottle on the web and considering buying a 50ml one…love, love, love. Fall is just made for a nice leather!
This one has me in a tizzy cause I just can’t afford it right now! Love me some Jolie Madame extrait!
I like leather in moderate spray of Agent Provocateur. Thank you for the draw!
I absolutely adore Cuir de Lancome. It’s my number one all-around favourite fragrance. I’m eager to try more leathers, and this one sounds fantastic!
My favorite leather is Bandit, which I have loved for years. Thank you.
Oh, thank you for offering a non-Facebook means of entering this! :Happy-Grin: For years I tried to keep up with every new social media trend, but once Facebook/Twitter/Pinterest all rolled around, I was so burned out I still can’t convince myself to sign up for accounts.
As to leather… as much as I love leather and leather scents, I honestly don’t have a favorite leather. Unless you count the scent of actual leather, which will always win for me :I-m-in-love: I have no idea where to obtain a leather corset/bustier in the event I’m fortunate enough to win this, though…
NP
I’ve seen all my vintage faves mentioned already so I’ll add Kelly Caleche!
Favorite leather of all time: DSH Erotica edp.
Still in the experimental sniffing phase, but Bottega Venata is a FBW fave and in heavy rotation. I am the only human being on the planet that is not yet on Facebook, but I’d still love to try Cuir Fetiche. Please enter me in the drawing!
Wowser! My favorite leathers: vintage Habanita in extrait, vintage Cabochard & vintage Jolie Madame. Cuir de Russie and Bandit are quite good also. Can you tell I like leathers?
I am a fan of bottega veneta . . . kind of smoky-leather – a nice fall perfume! Thanks for another chance to win on PP! 🙂
definitely Tuscan Leather, the in-your-face kind of leather. Then throw in a tad bit of berry to make it delicious. yummy !!!!
My favorite leather is Bandit. Have really wanted to try this one! Am I entered in the draw?
What a lovely offer! Please enter me in the draw, as I love leather fragrances. Some of my favorites are vintage Bandit, Jolie Madame, and Cabochard. Other frequent fliers are Chanel Cuir de Russie (extrait), Cuir de Lancôme, and Tabac Blond.
My favoriteis Chanel Cuir de Russie, but there aren’t many leathers that I don’t like. Thanks for the draw!
I find leather a hard note to like, but Cuir Ambre from the Prada Exclusive collection is quite fab! I haven’t tested a lot of leather scents though, maybe that will be my next fragrant project?
Wowza! What an offer from those sweeties and MiN. Thanks to them and to you. MPG has some fantastic perfumes.
My fave leather is probably that insanely animalic Vierges et Toreros by ELdo.
Oh, and if I win, I am so NOT donning a corset. But a harness might not be out of the question. :Devil: :Devil: :Devil:
My favorite leather is Cuir Venenum by Parfumerie Generale.
Hey! Interesting draw! 😀 I got 1697 by Frapin last Xmas! Some call it a leather (to me it’s more just an amber), it is so lovely and boozy and sweet! Then there’s Tabac by La Via Del Profumo/AbdesSalaam Attar that just makes me think so intensly of horses and horse riding and all things horse related, therefore leather! I love it and might get my loved ones to offer it to me for next Xmas! It’s the only too I can think of!
I have about 20 favorite leathers – Hermes Bel Ami, Chanel CdR, PdE Cuir Ottoman, SL Daim Blond, Bottega Venetta, Pacal Morabito Or, Etro Gomma, Heeley’s Cuir Pleine Fleur, and of course MPG’s Cuir Fetiche. Thank you for the giveaway!
Since it is cooler where I live, I’m gonna have to drag out my Cuir de Russie (Chanel) and Amouage Memior. I cannot wait until the leaves start turning and I start to wear Sycomore.
I love Cuir de Russie. Please enter me in the draw
I’m very much a suede fan… something like BV’s rendition or PG Cuir d’Iris in small doses =)
I haven’t tried much in the leather family. I don’t know why but it intimidates me just a little, maybe because I’m not sure where to start. However, this one sounds like a wonderful one to start with. I’d love to try it. Since I hate FB, can you enter me in the draw? Thanks!!! What an awesome contest and prize!
I haven’t tried many leathers, wasn’t sure I liked them until I tried Bottega Venetta *love* Even more surprising DH loved it on me. Am on FB and liked both, thanks!
Knize Ten.
..and Tauer’s Lonestar Memories and Vero Profumo’s Onda. I haven’t tried Cuir Fetiche, though I’d love to! And I already ‘like’ both Perfume Posse & MiN New York.
The leathers I love and own are: PG’s Cuir Venenum & Cuir Santalion; Heeley’s Cuir Plein Fleur; Lancôme’s Cuir; Montale’s Aoud Cuir d’Arabie; Esteban’s Cuir; Idole de Lubin; L’Artisan’s Dzing, Dzongkha, and Traversee du Bosphore.
I ‘like’ both perfume posse and MiN on fb..
My fave leather is probably Prada Cuir Ambre..oh actually if Puredistance M counts as a leather perfume then that one’s probably my FAVE!! haven’t tried this so would LOVE to be entered in the draw!
My present favorite Cuir de Nacre by perfumer Ann Gerard, it is a Bertrand Duchaufour creation which has similarities with his work for L’Artisan Traversée du Bosphore: remember the wonderful soft-warm suede effect? That is part of Cuir de nacre…
add a powdery orris heart and beautiful iridescent aldehydes top notes. It really is a beauty and won my heart over previous leather loves Cuir de Lancome, Bottega Veneta and Knize ten. Never tried Cuir Fétiche, though…who knows… it might be my next crush!
Love Cuir Beluga & Cuir de Russie Parfum. Thank you!
I.just.can’t.do.Facebook — so I’ll have to pass on the draw (sob!), but I do love leather! I start my favorites list with Azuree and just keep going… I’m wearing Cuir de Lancome today — it’s perfect, as usual!
I have not tried many leathers but my favorite so far is Idole de Lubin. When I first sampled it, I was infatuated…so powerfully composed. Rum and leather, what a great combination! But I have not finished my sample, as much as I love it. I really have to be in just the right mood to wear it, it speaks to a more aggressive mood. I think I will wear it again when the weather gets crisp…a leather for crisp autumnal weather could be perfect!
SL Cuir Mauresque and Mona di Orio’s Cuir are my favourite leathers right now, both wonderful!
Thanks for the draw!!
Cuir de Lancome! In fact, I am wearing it today!
My favorite leathers are Cuir de Lancome and PdE Cuir Ottoman. Thanks to both of you for the draw.
Oh my, what a great prize, I would love to be entered!
I adore Jolie Madame both old and new, and vintage Cabochard was hard to beat in the leather department. Also hoping to get the original Trussardi by Trussardi soon, the one in the white “leather” bottle – it is amazingly good! I love the MPG line but I have never tried this one, it sounds great!
Tabac Blond is my favorite leather, but I also go for Cuir de Lancome! Musette, you are adorable!
I have been very interested to try this! …Onda (extrait) is my favorite leather. Thanks for the draw!!
Hmmm….favorite leather, Jolie Madame and Onda, just off the top of my head
What an incredibly generous offer! My favorite leather is Cuir de Lancome….but I’d love to have a bottle of this! (The bottle is awesome, by the way)
Thanks for a chance to win.
Cuir de Ottoman is my favorite, closely followed by Dior Bois d’Argent.
My number one currently is
Aigner In Leather Perfume by Etienne Aigner…
Many thanks to you!
Cindi
I love leather!! My number one favorite is Bandit, followed by Cuir Ottoman, Cuir de Lancome, Bottega Veneta and Kelly Caleche. Would really like to try this one as well!
Leather is not really something I have a lot of experience in, but I would love to sample this scent. Who knows, maybe I’ll fall in love with it! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
My leather loves are suedes, Bottega Veneta and Daim Blond. Both apricot suedes which are perfect with my uber fine pale dove suede biker jacket. In fact I wear them to make me feel I’m wearing this wholly inappropriate garment as the occasions when the weather is cool enough, but not cold and not raining mean it only gets an nnual outing. The scents get worn far more often.
Gorgeous giveaway, thank you to PP and MiN. I would love 10 mls of Cuir Fetiche!
I have some vintage Habanita that is just killer. I love the scent of leather so I would really love to try more leather perfumes. Thanks for the draw.
