Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate-to-strong sillage make it less ideal for an office environment, but it truly shines in intimate date settings or more formal evening events. The warm, rich notes are best suited for cooler weather and nights.

About

Black Suede Intense opens with a bold hit of warm amber, immediately joined by a kick of black pepper that adds an invigorating spice rather than harshness. As it settles, the labdanum weaves in a rich, resinous depth, hinting at a leathery suede though not explicitly listed. The overall impression is a smooth, slightly sweet yet distinctly masculine warmth that lingers beautifully.
