What it smells like

Suede is a synthetic fragrance note that captures the scent of soft, velvety leather. Its profile is powdery, slightly sweet, and animalic with smooth, woody undertones that bring the luxurious texture of suede fabric.

How it's used in perfumery

Suede functions as a heart note that adds soft, powdery depth to leather, floral, and woody compositions. It pairs especially well with violet, iris, and amber notes, creating sophisticated, elegant accords.

Fun fact

The suede note became popular in perfumery during the 1990s as a modern alternative to harsher leather accords.
