Paris Corner
Emir Identity Rose & Leather Eau de Parfum
A dry, stemmy rose-leather scent pairing geranium and black currant with a leather-rose heart and a vetiver-cedar base, often compared to Rose & Cuir.
Inspired by Frederic Malle Rose & Cuir
Emir Identity Rose & Leather Eau de Parfum is part of Paris Corner's Emir Identity collection, taking on a leather-rose profile that's drier and greener than most commercial rose fragrances.
What does Emir Identity Rose & Leather smell like?
The opening pairs geranium, black currant and Sichuan pepper for a green, slightly peppery start rather than a sweet floral one. The heart is where the fragrance earns its name, combining leather with rose, though it leans more toward the stem and leaf side of rose than the soft petal accord found in many florals. The base settles into vetiver and cedar, keeping the overall composition dry, woody and a little austere.
- Top notes: Geranium, Black Currant, Sichuan Pepper
- Heart notes: Leather, Rose
- Base notes: Vetiver, Cedar
Performance and when to wear it
Performance is typically moderate on skin, with the green, peppery opening settling fairly quickly into the drier leather-vetiver character that defines most of the wear. It suits cooler weather and situations calling for something understated but distinctive, rather than a loud, sweet fragrance.
Who is it for?
This is a unisex fragrance for people who appreciate niche-style, dry leather florals rather than typical sweet rose scents. It's often compared to Frédéric Malle's Rose & Cuir, making it a more affordable way to explore that green, leathery rose style.
