History

Cuir Styrax is a unisex scent in Prada’s ‘Essences Exclusives’ lines. This collection of rare scents features the most precious ingredients in traditional fine perfumery, like iris, tuberose, benzoin, and, as in this case, leather, paired with styrax. In terms of the bottles and packaging, Prada ‘plays a minimalist card to express a sleek, uncluttered, contemporary elegance, to transmit their vision of compositions in the midst of the creative process’ and to focus on the lushness of the fragrances themselves. Cuir Styrax is fragrance N°11 in the ‘Essences Exclusives’ line. Available at Prada boutiques and from department stores.
