Cuero

Inspired by the historic factory space in the heart of Texas where Stash's leather goods are created, CUERO is a unique fragrance collaboration between the minds at Stash and Boyd's of Texas.


"The Stash factory emits it's own scent. Scraps of sample hides lay in piles, and the heat of countless Texas summers is buried in the wooden shiplap walls. Everything carries a patina. Everything is aged," recalls Dennon. "But there's also a sweetness, a dusty breeze of cedar and floral meadows. These are the portions of the Stash experience we wanted to recreate."  

The collaboration initially drew inspiration from the fragrance of Coco Chanel's Cuir de Russie (Russian leather in French) which was released in the early 1920's. The scent evoked juniper wood, mandarin orange, blond tobacco and the smell of boots tanned by birch oil.

Cuero follows in the footsteps of that androgynous classic while bringing forward the warmth of South Texas and Mexico. Wafts of citrus and soft florals quickly become seated in the dryer, dusty woods of various cedars.

This deepens on the skin and is mingled with the slightest hint of warm jasmine before it softens into darker woods and smoky leather.
