Suite 302

I really like this sexy smoky fragrance. I might love it after a few more hours. It definitely has some depth and IMO is blended really well. The tobacco and leather are pretty intense in the opening (avoid if you don’t enjoy). Give it a chance to mellow out! I get the spicy pepper kick that really lifts this perfume from leaning too heavy. Then floating in the background is that dark, velvety rose powdered by the violet. I don’t get much cherry, but it does come through about an hour in. It peaks through with a bit of tang and sweetness behind the main players of tobacco, leather and rose. And this isn’t a soft, dainty suede...it’s LEATHER! This is a cold weather stunner imho! I am excited to try the rest of her discovery kit. **EDIT** this should come w a warning...must like tobacco (I do but as reviewer below mentioned...it does not quit!!) **UPDATE** after drydown I may dare say 😬 this is FBW for me...damn it**

Incredible. This was, as many reviewers stated, quite pungent and too powerful at first (especially if you’re trying it on a tester). Wet, cloying, tobacco with a hint of cherry. Smells of a cigar that was left out in the rain. But my god.... On the skin, it’s incredible. A true masterpiece! It’s mature, sexy, powerful, elegant. I can’t even describe it. Everything that Chanel wanted to be but wasn’t because it’s too fixated on aldehydes and impressing the rich. This is truly spectacular on the skin. I’m buying myself a bottle. Evening scent for sure. Beast mode silage and longevity. It really makes me sad that so many people hate it. Makes me think they made the mistake of just spraying on the tester and not on their skin. Definitely worth it to spritz on yourself and see how it plays with your chemistry. Not a safe blind buy!

Yes on the Bal d' Afrique similarity. Same perfumer, plus Bal d' Afrique is one of Victoria's favorite fragrances and mine as well. Although Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire is stronger with the Cherry notes which I love... The Suite 302 is a favorite for me in this smoky yet sweetly layered evolving scent I even get pine that peeks in here and there on my skin, so wow there for sure and just am really loving this perfume and it is rightly so a true perfume instead of Bal d' Afrique's watery nature (yet still do enjoy it) Suite 302 offers a few "secrets" which I believe all good perfumes should... This is just purrrr fect and spot on for me right now especially in Winter and will be great throughout all seasons. Cheers ' ) Purchased her trio set (which goes towards purchase of a FB) Full bottle arriving today or tomorrow yah!

This is a gorgeous creation. I do not understand so low rating her. This one is way better than TF tobacco vanile, which I couldn't stand but I find it similar, probably because of tobacco note. But this is nothing like TF. It does not have that cloging vanilla not. But I can smell patchouli in this one. Actually it reminds me of Van Cleef Moonlight patchouli a bit. Like a combination av Moonlight patchouli and TF lost cherry, both among my favorites. And White prominent tobacco not, especilly in the opening. Tobacco in this one is just beautifully done, because I do not like that note in perfumes because its havy sweetnes, and I do not like sweet and gourmand scents. Så this one is perfectly blended and totally unisex imo. Just beautiful.

I'm obsessed with Suite 302. I have smelled thousands of perfumes in my 50ish years on this planet, and I really can't think of another frag that this resembles. Kudos to Epinette for creating something unique. Obviously, you can draw a comparison to other tobacco frags, but Suite 302 is in a realm of its own. It's a beautiful dry, non-screechy tobacco for a long while. About 8 hours later, it dries down much sweeter, but not cloying. If you like no-chemical-notes, and smooth tobaccos, this is for you.
