Black Suede by Avon

bloodflower

i think it is an unoffensive scent for men, sophisticated and classy without the irritating citrus notes that i can't stand, i just gave it to my boyfriend and he totally loved this one, he said it smelled mystical to him, i think he even prefers it to dior homme (which i totally love).

Is impossible for my man, and I, to have a respectable night out if he is wearing this. Is a musky, warm smell, and I can't help but bury my nose in his neck to inhale the scent. My husband isn't a scent wearer, but for night's out he will always put this on for me, which drives me to total distraction!

This was a surprisingly pleasant fragrance. The musk is very evident as are the woody notes. The price is the best feature of this fragrance, which cannot be beaten. I wish a version stronger than aftershave was available in Australia - this would be event better.

Do you happen to like Dunhill for Men, the original one dating from 1934, now discontinued? The good news are that there are two options when it comes to replacing it. One would be Versace's L'Homme, the second would be Avon's Black Suede.

All these have very similar top notes, a "watery" feeling that must not be taken as a synonim for "acquatic". I relied on the pyramid in order to explain this but, unfortunately, can not find any resemblences with notes mentioned. As a matter of fact, I think that there must be an aromachemical present common to these three fragrances.

Avon's Black Suede, still, doesn't have the presence nor the complexity of Dunhill and Versace's L'Homme, but it is a good option though, moreover when complementary
products are available, like the eau de cologne and the deodorant. Add to this the price Avon charges for it.

Top notes are sort of floral, but since they hold tightly to the skin, this attribute might not be taken as evidence of a femenine character.

A very classy option indeed.

i have to agree that this is musky and romantic. it doesn't smell like suede which was my first qualm lol, but instead it is a strong, heady wintertime scent for men. its unique which i appreciate.

I agree with Annette87, this fragrance is best worn during winter.

I love cuddling up to my husband when he wears this.

namt2 - Black Suede is possibly AVON'S best selling men's fragrance of all time. Unfortunately, I would not
recommend it for a tropical region. The scent is a little strong. It would be best for fall and winter.

Sexy, musky and romantic. You've just GOT to snuggle up to your bloke when he wears this frangrance. Irresistable.
