Rook Perfumes Suede is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Nadeem Crowe. Suede opens with Suede, settles into a heart of Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Leather. Rook Perfumes's Suede carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising leather beast. You'll either love its intensely authentic, smoky hide profile or be repulsed by what some describe as wet dog, burnt meat, or an old ashtray. Definitely not for the shy, but a real gem for leather lovers.

Given its strong projection and authentic, intense leather and tobacco accords, this is not suited for office wear where it could be overwhelming. It's excellent for dates and casual outings where its bold character can shine without dominating, and can even work in formal settings for those who dare. It's absolutely unsuitable for sport.

About

Suede instantly engulfs you in a powerful, smoky leather that's incredibly realistic and unapologetic. It quickly deepens into a rich, slightly animalic tobacco, evoking the scent of a fresh cigarette packet rather than sweet pipe tobacco. As it dries, the dominant leather and suede accords remain, settling into a potent, warm skin scent with musky undertones. This scent is bold, raw, and undeniably masculine in its presentation, though it can certainly be worn by anyone seeking a strong, authentic leather experience.
