Black Suede Intense
by Avon
Black Suede Intense from Avon delivers a focused, deeply masculine amber with a bold black pepper backbone. The opening reveals a resinous sweetness that lingers through the dry-down, evolving into a warm, woody, slightly herbaceous base that feels both comforting and complex. While the sillage is moderate rather than overwhelming, its presence is lasting and inescapable, especially on colder days. The scent maintains its profile well beyond 6 hours on skin and can persist into the next day when worn on clothing, making it a dependable choice for evening wear in winter. Despite some early reports of initial dryness or synthetic notes, many users find that the fragrance settles into a satisfying, addictive amber-pepper warmth that rewards patience. Its strong value proposition is widely celebrated, making it feel far more expensive than its price point suggests.
