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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

The earthy and woody accords make it too strong for a formal office environment, yet its unique character fits in casual and date settings. Longevity and sillage mean it's more suited to personal space rather than open offices.

About

Dirty Suede opens with an intriguing mingling of pink pepper and crisp cedar, creating a sharp, woody introduction. As it develops, the heart blooms with lush jasmine and the synthetic intrigue of Ambroxan, lending a soft floral edge. The base is where it truly asserts itself-with deep vetiver, earthy patchouli, and a touch of animalistic musk swirling around labdanum's resinous warmth. The result? A scent that has you half-expecting dusty leather saddles and blooms in a sun-drenched stable. It's daringly intimate and unapologetic, sitting somewhere between sophisticated and rugged strength.
