Black Suede Touch

This is quite a different scent from Black Suede, so the name is a bit misleading. It is gentler, more subtle, more sophisticated, less linear and much less powdery. It has a gingery, musky and spicy edge throughout, which makes it more masculine. Late on in dry down it gets a little sweeter with a vanilla note. At 5 hours it does get more powdery, more like the original Black Suede, and there is a note that resembles baby powder, but the ginger/spice/slightly sour notes balance it out. Longevity is very good on me (7+ hours) and projection is good for a few hours before settling down and staying very close to the skin. I really like this - so does my girlfriend - and for the money I think it is really good. Probably has a wider appeal than Black Suede because it is a bit edgier. Glad I bought it and I will probably buy more.

Strange to see some negative reviews, as for the price it is a hidden gem. A bit similar to Quorum Silver, however a bit sweeter and less dry, due to pepper + vanilla combo instead of cedarwood. However still dry, and filling a similar position/need. Is a slightly sweet ginger pepper vanilla fragrance with some woody notes. Not a powerhouse, but highly versatile inexpensive (yet smelling a lot more expensive than what it is supposed to). Longevity and Silage is on the average, about 4-6 hours. Highly versatile, as could work very well in Spring, Fall, Humid Winter and even Summer (colder days). Overall i highly recommend it. Another scents worth looking into, that share some of the notes, are Loccitaine Loccitaine, Quorum Silver.

I think this was the first Avon scent I ever bought. The year was 2008, and I was a young adult attempting to be grown up. And how coincidental that is, because this is actually a very grown up scent. In that it's simple, gentle and straightforward. No ambiguity here, it opens with pepper off the top followed by ginger and creamy vanilla. It dries down to a creamy vanilla and ginger scent. It's enjoyable. I would say it works better on a well dressed/metrosexual male. It's just so elegant.

This fragrance for men is really sexy and hot. Kinda aphrodisiac. My boyfriend loves this fragrance so much and so do I. He owns EDT, spray and shower gel...practically the whole package. One of the best from Avon.

This perfume reminds me of YR Hoggar, but while patchouli is prominent at first, I detect a strong black pepper scent in the middle. It's among my favorite perfumes, and I definitely recommend it.
