Incense Suede

Incense Suede opens with a dense, smoky incense accented by a hint of pink pepper, evolving into a rich blend of saffron, leather, and warm amber. The heart features a deep, velvety leather accord layered over vanilla-like styrax and a rosy-amber sweetness, giving it a surprisingly smooth and wearable quality despite its dark, resinous profile. As it unfolds, subtle woody notes—cedar and pine—emerge, adding depth and a natural, lived-in character to the composition, evoking memories of a rustic workshop or a solemn church. It's a highly concentrated, smoky, and incense-driven fragrance with a warm, almost medicinal honesty that holds its own through time. Longevity and sillage are inconsistent across users—some report very long-lasting, even after a shower, while others find it fades after a few hours. The scent is leather-forward with a soft, creamy suede base and strong saffron notes, with some noting a faint pencil-shavings or fresh wood quality, similar in spirit to Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather but more nuanced and less overtly aggressive. It's universally regarded as sophisticated and emotionally resonant, with many calling it a masterpiece for those who seek a wearable yet intense, smoky-woody scent.
