Stetson Rich Suede Coty for men

This was a bit of a disappointment. Ok so it costs practically nothing - but I think in this case you get what you pay for. It is very ordinary and virtually disappears as soon as I apply it. Not at all as complex as the ingredients may suggest.

Stetson is seen as an entry level brand by some scent experts, I'm guessing, but this cologne for men is a great concoction.

I understand that suede is actually a man-made aroma not really available in nature but it is associated with soft deer leather, this is definitely "soft" but yet warm.

I'm a 40yr. old guy that prefers leather and lavender scents but this is really a mature and youg at the same time.

For the price, I say you should take a chance and you will not be let down!

I was surprised to find Stetson not very masculine; I think it's certainly unisex. The only floral listed (okay, that's not to say there aren't more, but I don't smell much floral here) is osmanthus, which has an apricot-suedey thing going on anyway and isn't sweet or even very flowery.

It's aromatic and pleasant; I get more suede than leather (probably that osmanthus), and there's lots of cedar and balsam. It's an inexpensive scent, and plenty of perfume fans will avoid it because it's the opposite of niche, but it's a great smell for not much money. The longer I wear it, the less masculine/more unisex it seems, without ever veering into Definitely Girly. In fact, it reminds me a little of Aspen for Women, which I used to love.

I layered this successfully with Jardin sur le Nil. I'll certainly be wearing this, and I'll certainly be happy to smell it on my husband.
