Pink Suede

May 2019 My initial review was on the more diplomatic side. Truth is, this was sharp and fleeting to me the first time I tried it. But because it had good reviews and because I'm stubborn, I continued to try it. I also changed climates. In August of 2016, I lived in Minnesota. Now I live in Haiti. But most of all, I think my nose has matured. Now this is a lovely, even magical dusty suede scent. Slightly sweet, slightly floral, slightly fruity. It's not trying too hard, and doesn't need to be noticed. You'll just smell GOOD. Definitely a love now. - - - - - - - - - - - August 2016 I blind bought this on a whim because I found a pretty good price, and I wanted more leathers and suedes that would work well in the heat. I am eager to see how this performs in fairly high heat, but I think it will be quite nice. When I first sprayed this, it was extremely light, so I sprayed again and then got a pretty sharp scent in the initial blast. What hit me first, was a combination of clean, sharp musk, and peony, with the suede following close by. Within about 10 or 15 minutes, it loses its edge and I begin to get the plum fairly distinctively, but it is not overwhelming at all. In fact, I would not call this a fruity scent at all. For that matter, I wouldn't really call it a floral scent either. It's mostly suede and musk, with the other notes playing supporting roles. This falls into a bit of a shampoo scent, at least initially. I thought I got a plastic scent, but it dried down to shampoo or soap. And now at this point (about an hour after spraying), I get just a touch of the amber. And I mean JUST a TOUCH! I think the other fruits begin to peek around the corner at this point too, but anyone other than me will smell musk and suede, with a touch of flowers. It is a lovely suede scent that is unique. There's a bit of the jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede in this, but this turns a corner and goes a very different direction, while PBS sits on the suede note pretty solidly. I'll take some more time to get to know this one and might do an addition or edit to this in the future once I try it in the heat.

My mom gave me a powder of the Pink Suede while I was an undergrad. I wore it when I wore fitted pink sweaters, a flared black skirt, nude hose, and leather Mary Jane Pumps. For a few years, I looked AND smelled like Pink Suede! To me, it was musky, floral, and vintage leather. My favorite memory of Pink Suede is of Halloween 2009, when my now husband, who was then my friend, put my pantyhose on his head as a bank robber mask and exclaimed, "Hey, your pantyhose smell good!" When I finally used all my Pink Suede powder, I asked an Avon rep friend to order me another powder, but to my disappointment, it had been discontinued.

Strange...it is my daughter's school fragrance..I bought it for her initially as a trial then every time her bottle was close to finishing she always asks for a replacement. It total she had 4 bottles. Its a nice scent for teens who do not want to overpower, but with hormones raging, it keeps things in check...This is her comment, really.

I remember this scent from way back; an old girlfriend from my high school years wore it and I loved it then. I just recently bought it as a gift for someone and now that I have it out of the wrappings, I'm not so sure that I want to give it up. If you can get your hands on a bottle of this rare perfume, do so immediately.

I still miss this fragrance. While it is fruity it also has a hint of dry leather that saves it from being too sweet. I disagree with VDXL that it's for teens. While this is not a sophisticated fragrance it is a mood lifter and great for casual daytime wear. I loved it.
