What does Suede (2020) smell like?

Most voters pick winter and fall, with spring well behind. Leisure and evening wear lead, and it is also chosen for nights out. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is a unisex fragrance.

Suede opens on suede, moves to tobacco in the heart and rests on leather. It carries a smoky, earthy warmth, backed by spicy, resinous and woody accords, with an animal note in the background. Two perfumes with a close profile are Rook Perfumes Suede (2018) and Montale Aoud Cuir d'Arabie.
