Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Suede Secret
This one's a solid effort from Avon, offering more depth than some of its Black Suede siblings. It's a nice, soft leather with a touch of sweetness, though don't expect it to shout; it's a quiet charmer, if a bit performance-shy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Nerone
Nerone is a fierce, take-no-prisoners kind of scent; an unapologetic masterpiece that divides opinions but commands respect. If you're after a bold, intense fragrance that announces your arrival, this is it. Don't blind buy unless you like a fragrant punch to the face.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black Suede Secret

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its intimate projection makes it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it won't offend. The sensual leather and sweet notes lend themselves well to a date, but its understated nature might preclude it from more formal events.

Nerone

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

This is a powerhouse, both in longevity and sillage, making it completely unsuitable for office wear. Its bold, commanding nature is perfect for date nights or specific evening events where making a statement is key, but far too much for casual or athletic settings. It might just about cut it for a formal evening event if applied sparingly.
