Michael Kors Suede is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Suede opens with Water Lily, Mandarin, Orange Blossom, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Gardenia, and Champaca, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Sandalwood, and Frangipani. Michael Kors's Suede carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A creamy, buttery white floral with a soft woody embrace, Suede takes the original Michael Kors DNA and smooths out the rough edges. It's divisive for some, but many find it a sophisticated, sensual everyday scent.

Scent Profile

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Suede opens with a delicate freshness from water lily and violet leaf, quickly ushering in a rich, opulent heart of gardenia, tuberose, and exotic champaca. This heady floral bouquet is beautifully tempered by a velvety base, where cashmere wood and sandalwood weave a smooth, almost buttery texture, enhanced by soft musk and a touch of frangipani, giving it a warm, skin-like finish.
