Have you worn Black Suede Essential?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Jogan117BC

    I wore this from 2013 to 2014, when I was about 15. It suited me perfectly, giving off a serious and motivated vibe, and my partner at the time absolutely loved it. I wore it daily, but it really stood out on cold or rainy days. Since it’s from Avon, don’t expect insane projection, but it held up well enough.

  2. Jogan117BC

    I wore this in my teens (2013-14) and it felt amazing: it added seriousness and motivation, and my partner loved it. I wore it daily, but it stood out more on cold or rainy days. Since it’s from Avon, it doesn’t have huge projection, but it holds up well.

  3. Sad.zadk

    It’s sophisticated within the Avon lineup, but it lasts muuuuch too short (maybe my skin or the ingredients). It’s super linear, with no changes or evolution: smells the same from start to finish.

  4. Sad.zadk

    This is a sophisticated fragrance within the Avon lineup, but its longevity is super short (maybe due to my skin or the ingredients). It’s very linear with no variations or evolution; it’s just what it is from start to finish.

  5. jeloumaifelas

    My partner gifted me this one that had been sitting in a drawer and smelled like nothing before I got into perfumes. Today, it smells like leather (suede) with citrus and a soft lavender, with a dry, talc-like touch. I love it: I use it a lot, on clothes and in spritzes, and it lasts over 6 hours.

  6. Affordable and fresh. The fact that I never finished the bottle says it all.

  7. Andresz0711

    Smells good and is cheap, but the longevity is short. You have to apply a lot, and I mean a lot.

  8. Starts with that typical 96% alcohol hit from Avon men’s fragrances. After 10 minutes (or if you light a match, you burn), it smells decent. It’s linear, mostly lavender with a touch of suede, but maxed out on synthetic notes. Cost $10, ideal for post-shower or casual outings. Good price, though don’t expect much.

  9. Antonio Chile

    Of all the Avon scents, this is one of the most sophisticated; it resembles luxury brands, but it doesn’t last.
