  This new Avon creation isn’t bad at all. It opens with a somewhat strange, cheap leather smell, but little by little it settles into a leather note to balance with the fruity notes, resulting in a pleasant scent once your nose gets used to it. The projection isn’t anything special, so I recommend spraying 6 or 7 times; given the cost of the perfume, you can spray freely. Decent longevity; 12 hours later, I could still smell traces on my wrist. A versatile perfume for day and night in spring and autumn when you don’t want to use your top perfumes.

  Synthetic as only she can be XD… I just bought it blind. I like it, even though it’s not the type of scent I feel goes with me. The opening is super plastic and fruity, like a tutti frutti, an undefined fruit salad, smells artificial but not bad. That impression fades after a while and a very pleasant aromatic leather emerges, though I prefer drier leather; this one is sweet but pleasant. Is it sexy? Hmm, I think so; it works precisely because of its artificiality. It reminded me of when I first smelled Joop, like you can’t believe you’re smelling something so synthetic. Is it masculine? Nope, it’s quite unisex; I imagine a girl at a party, wearing a leather jacket, dancing until dawn… It’s cute, it doesn’t kill me, but it has something addictive that makes me not regret owning it, besides the price is a joke. Fall, winter, cold, day or night (I think it should hold up in smoke-filled places and closed clubs and parties); spring and summer could work due to the sweet fruity opening, but only at night. Do not buy blind.

  For the price—around $5 in Argentina—and for that LEATHER, I can confidently say it’s SPECTACULAR. Now, like the Black Suede flankers I’ve been buying, its longevity is a joke. For a half-day activity or a bit of calisthenics to reapply it, it barely lasts. But at least with this Black Suede DARK, I can’t ask for more for those $5. The opening is fruity, but don’t ask me what fruits because I have no idea; it’s an undifferentiated note. I don’t know which market perfume it’s paying homage to. Watch out for this opening! Don’t get stuck with that impression, because a few minutes later—say, five—the rough leather starts emerging between the fruity notes. This combination makes it unique, like the leather-with-solvent vibe of Gucci Guilty (I’m making the comparison because I don’t have another reference, though they differ in result, they’re related in intent and family) but sweetened; as if something spiced was added to aromatize the leather. The leather lasts until the end (which is no more than three hours on my skin) with a volatile camphoraceous component (not the scent itself but the effect) that decongests your nose. I don’t detect vetiver or a dry, astringent dry-down. Obviously, it’s super masculine, designed for men (though anyone can wear it if they want). CONCLUSION: For the price and what it offers, it’s ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT if you like or want to explore perfumes with a prominent LEATHER note: because THIS ONE HAS IT. For the price, its meager longevity is forgiven (though it lasts a bit longer than its older siblings ‘Touch’ and ‘Leather’, which I’ve already reviewed). With a bit of optimism and no pretensions, this perfume could become a battlehorse for Avon.

  For the price, about $5 in Argentina, and for the LEATHER, I’d dare to say it’s SPECTACULAR. Like the Black Suede flankers I own, its longevity is a joke. However, for a half-day activity, doing a bit of calisthenics to refresh it, it barely lasts. Let’s look at the positives: for those $5 I paid, with this Black Suede DARK, I can’t ask for more. The opening is fruity; don’t ask me which fruits because I have no idea, it’s an undifferentiated note. I don’t know which perfume it’s paying homage to. Watch out for this opening! Don’t get stuck with that impression, because a few minutes later, about five, the rough leather starts appearing among the fruity notes. This combination makes it distinct, like the leather with solvent from Gucci Guilty (I’m making the comparison because I don’t have another to reference, though they differ in result, they’re related in intent and family), but sweetened; as if something spiced had been added to aromatize the leather. The leather lasts until the end (which isn’t more than three hours on my skin) with a volatile camphoraceous component that makes your nose get congested. I don’t sense the vetiver, nor do I perceive a dry, astringent dry-down. Obviously, it’s a super masculine perfume. There’s no gender debate here; it’s made for men (of course, anyone can wear it). CONCLUSION: For the price and what it offers in terms of fragrance, I think it’s ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT for those who like or want to try perfumes with a prominent leather note: because THIS ONE HAS IT. For the price, its meager longevity is forgiven (though it lasts a bit longer than its older brothers “Touch” and “Leather”, which I’ve already reviewed).

  It’s like walking into a harness shop and having a fruit stand just 100 meters away. It has pleasant fruit notes, but they’re imperceptible due to the strong leather that dominates everything. It’s a raw leather scent that sometimes takes on burnt notes (very synthetic), without any sweet notes to soften it. It gives a linear character, and you don’t really appreciate the rest. I like leather fragrances, but this is the first one with such a strong leather smell, without a single hint of sweetness to mask it. US$3 in Argentina, so it didn’t affect my budget. I bought it blind, launched in 2020, and thought it had modern touches, but definitely not; neither vintage. The Black Suede line was for audiences over 35, but I don’t know where to place this one; it might divide opinions. Those who love leather like in a harness shop will like it. I don’t dislike it, but I wouldn’t buy it again. I don’t suggest it for sports or summer. It’s not for the office or romantic occasions; it can be off-putting. It’s not for formal events either. In a club, better-made mid-range scents will catch more attention. Maybe an outdoor rock concert or a walk in autumn/winter are good suggestions. Definitely not unisex. Very versatile. Scent: 4/10, Quality: 5/10, Longevity: 6/10, Projection: 5/10, Versatility: 2/10.

  I think it’s a good perfume; for the price, you can’t ask for more. It’s $540 in Uruguay.

  This is amazing. At first, I thought the tanned leather was harsh, gloomy, and gothic, but I ended up loving how different it is from everything else I own and how well it complements my wardrobe. The more I use it, the more I like it. There’s a part that makes me feel clean, like laundry detergent, and I love that. This perfume is the perfect match for a black leather jacket, nothing more, nothing less. In cold weather and at night, it adds an impossible mystery.

  What a beast! At first, I thought it would be a lugubrious, gothic tanned leather, but I absolutely love how different it is from the rest of my collection and how perfectly it complements it. The more I wear it, the more I adore it. There’s a moment that makes me feel super clean, like I just used detergent, and I love that. It’s the perfect perfume for a black leather jacket, nothing more, nothing less: ideal for cold weather and nighttime, with an impossible mystery.

  Not a particularly pleasant scent overall. It’s very affordable, but it’s super synthetic; the leather note smells like plastic.

  I might be the only crazy one, but it smells similar to One Million. It’s a sweet leather scent; I’m not saying they’re identical, just very close. Very easy to wear.

  A nice clone of La Nuit de Issey. It’s synthetic, but it does its job and for the price, you can’t ask for more. Not bad at all.
