My favorite suede perfume done by one of my favorite perfumers. It takes the powdery suede profile of Bvlgari Black and enhances it in every way. Sexy, creative, laid back and maybe a little artsy. Funky fun sort of scent. It's incredibly wearable for anytime and season, but this would shine during cooler months. This is worth a try if you were a fan of the discontinued Midnight in Paris and Bvlgari Black. 10/10 for me and I don't throw the number around lightly.
By a long way the best perfume from this house. It's versatile and beautiful, with great performance without shouting. It's one of the ones which doesn't seem like a joke perfume somehow.
This is a pretty pale leathery thing. Undoubtedly a saffronic, suederal leatherette, thingy and it’s a decent (if slightly pedestrian) leather accord. Fine. It has no remarkable or unique features to it. There’s an offness and offsetting of sweetness with something akin to the papryrus note you get in certain sandalwood based fragrances which shall remain nameless, but this avoids being totally awful for it. I mean it’s okay. It’s not a softy, fleshy iris leather, nor is it an animalic castoreum or particularly saffron twanging leather (yes I do realise I mentioned saffron at the beginning) it’s very sanitised to me, minimal and simple to the point it feels a bit empty, emotionally and in a very real sense. ‘Clean’ suede is perhaps the most on the nose name they could’ve come up with, and perhaps that is the point? It’s a well made perfume and just about creative enough (doesn’t seem to copy anything I can immediately think of) and I didn’t hate wearing it, don’t get me wrong.

Byredo's Animalique has a similar vibe, but more hot plasticky and a little more one dimensional.
