Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Casanova

Casanova is a powdery amber powerhouse that polarises with its potent sillage and longevity. Some find it a masterpiece of warmth and sophistication, while others are put off by its sweetness and intensity. You'll either adore its Venetian richness or find it overwhelms.

Our Verdict - Black Suede

Avon's Black Suede is a divisive one - some find it a dated, overpowering musk, while others laud it as an affordable, comforting classic. It defies expectations by presenting as a surprisingly soft, powdery oriental that's garnered a loyal following, proving that 'old school' doesn't always mean 'stuffy'.

Season and Occasion Fit

Casanova

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its exceptional longevity and significant sillage make it unsuitable for daily office wear, but perfect for dates and evening events where it can truly shine without overwhelming. The amber and powdery accords elevate it beyond casual settings, aligning with more formal or romantic occasions.

Black Suede

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its comforting, powdery nature makes it excellent for casual wear or relaxing evenings. While not a powerhouse, its longevity and distinct character could be a bit much for formal settings, and it lacks the dynamism for sport.
