  1. Starts sweet and inoffensive, clean, but then that petrol note emerges, making it very particular and addictive. It lasts and projects little, but the scent is TREMENDOUS!!!!

  2. Starts soft and clean, but then that petrol note kicks in, making it unique and addictive. It doesn’t project much, but the scent is TREMENDOUS and lasts as long as it lasts.

  3. It’s a super animalic musk, almost like white goat hair, but very cozy. It’s very similar to Blossomcare’s White Incense, except this one has the best incense in the world and is more intense.

  4. I have to wear it for several days before I can give it a good review. First, sweet vanilla like dessert, then a lacquer-type note like Molecule 1, followed by strong petrol. Then comes the leather or suede. Wow, this would be the perfect scent for the Black Afgano’s girlfriend. It reminds me of Jo Malone’s Goosberry at first, but then it turns into something totally animalistic. I like it, but you need to try it for a few days.

  6. I’ve surrendered to this smell. Now it’s one of my two favorites: the feminine one and this masculine-cut one. It smells like a garage, grease, and motor oil, but underneath there’s vanilla or vaseline that makes it cozy. It’s interesting; like people, you need to give it time to see if you get hooked.

    White Suede is a pure musk, uncomplicated. The suede touch has that Tom Ford leather quality people love, though it doesn’t stand out much more than in cheap musks like Béjar’s Musc Secret, which smells the same. Performance is moderate, as is typical for them, but if you like musk, it’s ideal for cold days. Scent: 8 Longevity: 6 Projection: 5 Value for money: 4 Versatility: 8 Originality: 5 Overall: 7
