Indult Paris Cuir 404 is Francis Kukjdian reimagined version of the brand’s 2008 Rêve en Cuir.  I asked our Senior Editor J Wearescentient to accompany Steven’s video with a brief written review.

“Indult Paris Cuir 404 ‘s beautiful spicy floral clove conjures a velvety texture when joined by creamy citruses and spices add aromatic cardamom lets the clove’s edges defuse into a soft velvety musk like haze. The 404 of Indult Paris Cuir 404 is a clever name, 404 is usually the code for something that’s not found but there, quite like the leather in this composition. The spices give Cuir 404 a electric sparkle that fizzles over the creamy cardamom citruses, it’s like a smooth leather that cracks for the first time as it fits to your body. The clove softens too as it morphs into a soft suede nap, a rather sensual beautiful texture that plays against the more intense spices that give the leather a bright sheen. Musky rooty woods give Cuir 404 a luxurious sensation; a powdery and lightly smoky vetiver and cedar wrap around you like soft material, a silky lining from this invisible leather jacket. Indult Paris Cuir 404 is smooth and luxurious with a bright-spiced wood elegance; it’s a  wonderful take on leather”. –J Wearescentient, Senior Editor

    I’m honestly blown away by how deeply Cuir 404 seems to capture that mix of modern elegance and raw sensuality. Reading J Wearescentient’s review, it’s like I can feel the scent smooth leather softened by clove and creamy cardamom, with those flashes of spice keeping it alive and electric. The way J describes the texture of the scent is mesmerizing; I love the idea of this ‘invisible leather jacket’ wrapping you in soft, smoky woods and suede-like warmth. And that 404 reference is so clever, suggesting a kind of mysterious, subtle leather note that makes itself felt without ever shouting for attention.

    Then Steven’s video really brings it all home visually he captures the luxurious, sophisticated vibe of Cuir 404 in such an effortless way. It’s not often you see a scent reviewed in a way that blends technical insight with real sensory imagination. The level of detail and passion from both J and Steven makes me even more excited to experience this scent in person! Indult Paris really created something special here.

    I love spicy florals. Steve noted the clove, Cardamom and pink pepper elevate this scent. Combined with the leather accord, the creamy citruses and cedarwood make this scent a perfect choice for fall and winter.

    I’m intrigued by Indult Paris Cuir 404 and how it reimagines leather with a unique blend of spices, citruses, and warm woodsy notes. Steven’s video review highlights how the clove, cardamom, and pink pepper add a sparkling warmth that contrasts with the smooth, smoky leather base. The ‘404’ reference captures the idea of leather that’s present yet elusive, giving the fragrance an understated sophistication. I’d love to experience this multi-layered scent firsthand! Salute from Paris 😉

    Francis Kurkdjian is my favorite perfumer and I had no idea he did indult paris Cuir 404. Learned 404 can be a code for something that’s not found.
    Both Stephen and Wearescentient offer a great ways to review this masterpiece.
    Leather can be loud but this seems softer.

    I really want to own it because I’m a big fan of leather fragrances Have a blessed day.

  • theSCENTguy says:

    Cuir 404 seems to be a really lovely take on a leather fragrance. The combination of clove, which I generally think is criminally underutilized in perfumery, with the bright yet still woody notes in the opening followed by smooth suede leather, which I prefer to “regular” leather, just sounds so great.

    And Ida’s take on Ju-Ju? She describes it as a meringue-y, pillowy, fluffy, caramelic coffee, vanilla and amber scent with white florals. I mean, come on! Who? Wouldn’t? Like? That?

  • Ramses Perez says:

    I was wondering why there’s a number on the fragrance but now I get it. Even though there’s a leather accord on this composition, it really is a soft, imaginary leather if you will. The darkness is coming from the cedar wood but not from the leather. Starting from a fresh point of view and then turning dark at the end, it’s a creamy and smooth/suede leather if you will. The spices also brighten the fragrance like J mentioned and there are no rough edges. You must still love leather to like this one but coming from Francis Kurkdjian it’s a mass-appealing scent if you will. Not an envelope pushing scent and great for the fall/winter. I’m located in the USA.
