Purple Suede

Purple Suede by Goldfield & Banks Australia delivers a refined, masculine-leaning leather scent with prominent lavender at the opening, creating a smooth, slightly sweet, and deeply animalic composition. The fragrance evolves from a sparkling, sharp lavender and pepper start into a rich, dry leather base accented by oud, amber, cashmeran, and a subtle but persistent civet note. Its performance is strong and long-lasting, with a sillage that lingers well into the evening. On some skin types, the leather note becomes unusually dominant, creating a bold, almost operatic presence—reminiscent of Tom Ford Ombre Leather or older editions of Dior Fahrenheit, though with a cooler, more structured elegance. Some find the lavender and leathery notes well-balanced and complex; others note it leans abrasive or chemically dry. It’s effectively unisex, though most reviews suggest it carries a masculine energy that any woman might wear with confidence. The perfume is particularly admired in winter and for evening wear, standing out in its niche quality with a smooth, dense, and layered presence.
