The house of La Curie gifted the world with Larrea in 2014. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the leather family. Lesli Wood Peterson — the creative mind behind this fragrance.
Produced in the United States, and you can feel it in every note. Larrea La Curie unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
Some fragrances simply live on the skin — this one becomes part of it. The official website of La Curie — https://www.etsy.com/shop/bluepoppybath.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Larrea unfolds as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The style of La Curie is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
Without strict stage separation the fragrance opens as a single chord with a pure botanical mood: Green Chord, Leather accord, Ozone, Vetiver and musk. Here 5 notes work as one voice, creating natural freshness that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The deeper layers are felt as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Abstract, Musc, Wood and Leather without random overlap. The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Green, Leather, Mineral and Wood. It also reaches into Musk. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Leather.
In summary Larrea holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.
