Avon Black Suede Leather is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010, created by Loc Dong and Jean-Christophe Hérault. Black Suede Leather opens with Cactus, Ginger, and Sage, settles into a heart of Macadamia, Woody Notes, and Tobacco Blossom, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Avon's Black Suede Leather carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some find it a surprisingly sexy, warm leather; others smell cheap powder and find it utterly forgettable. Expect light performance, though some get better wear.

Composition

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.

About

Black Suede Leather opens with a curious, almost prickly freshness from cactus and ginger, quickly settling into a heart of woody notes softened by macadamia and a subtle tobacco blossom. The base eventually emerges with a gentle, worn leather impression, supported by a warm amber and dry cedar and vetiver, creating an overall mellow and slightly powdery dry-down.
