Black Suede Real Intense

Update: I received this as a gift from my friend. It is a great, spicy and classic masculine fragrance. Pepper dominated, old school-vibes. It is a fragrance in the same vein as sauvage elixir, they do not smell same or similar but their purpose are similar to each other. They are both spicy, masculine fragrances with a touch of freshness and school influences while still being very modern. Black suede is office friendly, very woody and musky, warm fragrance. Drydown is much smoother than the pepper opening and cinnamon notes are noticable. Has some ''nature'' type of smell that reminds me of Encre Noire. Performance is good, but you can go hevy on sprays for better projection. Sillage dramatically dissapears after 2-3 hours.

I get mostly pepper from the opening, a smooth cinnamon in the middle and a silky cashmeran finish. The official notes listed on the Avon site are Sichuan Pepper, Cinnamon and Cashmeran. I do not understand why fragrantica adds random notes to the fragrances, especially for the new releases. About the scent, it's pretty solid. Mix of Fresh spicy (pepper) and warm spicy (cinnamon) notes. Longevity is the best in the black suede line, lasted about 8 hours on my skin and decently projects in first two hours. I only had chance to spray this a few times from the tester, I think I will ad this to my collection in a few days; if I decide this is better than Attraction Closer. (couldn't find the tester for that one)

Scent profile is not bad. The performance really poor. Scent wise this want to be a D&G K like fragrance, but in really weak way.

Reminds me of a high mountain forest. 21.7 € per 100ml EDT in Europe

Is it wearable at summer? Hear me out.
