M.A.H. perfumes

Two M.A.H. eaux de parfum from the Édition Prestige line, and two frankly opposite directions: one gourmand and sweet, the other leathery and dry. The brand's catalogue in the shop is small, which makes the choice quick.

Oudh Coco or Cuir Rouge

Oudh Coco Édition Prestige opens on nutmeg, coriander and juniper berry, then shifts to a caramel and amber heart before a vanilla and musk base. It is a warm, sweet, unisex perfume that works best in the evening and in the cold season. The 50 ml bottle is easy to carry.

Cuir Rouge Édition Prestige rests on a leather accord: jasmine and saffron on top, amberwood and ambergris in the heart, fir resin and cedar in the base. Drier, more vertical, with marked projection. It is the choice of lovers of oriental leathers, rarely a first perfume.

Dosage and wear

Both compositions are concentrated and project: two sprays on the pulse points are enough, on moisturised skin and without rubbing. On clothing, the scent stays longer but is rendered less faithfully — especially for leathers, where the woody base takes over.

If you hesitate between the two, the question is simple: do you want a scent that warms or a scent that structures. Oudh Coco for the first, Cuir Rouge for the second.
