What does Black Suede (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Bergamot gives the opening some freshness, while the leather in the heart forms the backbone of the scent. Oakmoss sits in the base; the accords lean floral, sweet, woody and powdery, with spicy and oriental touches alongside.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is mentioned most for business, daily and leisure wear. It reads as masculine and classic. Burberry London for Men and Hugo Boss Invincible Bergamot have a close profile.
