I don’t always have the best luck with leather scents, but this is clearly leather. Other notes are there too. The elemi gives a rubbery note that occasionally makes it lean pleather. The “new shoes and something sexy” someone else commented is actually pretty accurate. The myrrh gives a lovely sweet vibe.The balsm and castorum gives a sharpness. As it settles the sandalwood gives a powdery cloud and a bit of dark patchouli peeks out. But all those extra notes are just texture supporting leather.

I’m discovering a lot of happy solace in my sample of Suedois, so much that it may need a place in my collection. The blending of notes is superb and contrastingly culminate into something of comforting simplicity.
Suedois is my escape — it’s my indulgence in a hazelnut Alexander (a twist on the classic brandy Alexander) with a sprinkling of nutmeg on top. Creamy, woody, nutty sensuality that puts me in a euphoric, creative fog before I even notice its narcotic effect.
Sipped in front of a gently crackling fire; clean, sweet, musky, heavy animal pelts — no sexy bearskin rug for two, but a solo retreat to a cabin where I might start my next writing project or fill my sketchbook with flowing images in soft charcoal.
This scent is addictively compelling, strong yet gentle, leathery, cozy and secure.

Last winter (and this is most assuredly a late fall and full on winter scent), I wore this many times, and received compliments from men and women known and unknown to me. I received the first one in Starbucks waiting in line with about 20 other people. Someone asked “what is that phenomenal smell??” – well, all of us thought it had to be coffee – I mean, we were in a coffee shop for goodness sake! But the guy kept saying it smelled like a really great pair of shoes and something sexy – then he said “it’s YOU!” – I know I turned 8 shades of red. He of course asked what it was. Explaining the name of such a relatively unknown perfumery, especially one with a funky name was really fun (in the morning, sans coffee), but somehow I managed to explain the name and how he could order it.
All of that to say, this is POWERFUL stuff – it gets noticed. Whether or not people will like it or not, I suppose that is personal preference, but the silage is massive. It also has longevity to rival the beast of beasts. The first time I sprayed it, I had on a scarf/wrap. I will have to do some serious washing if I ever want it to smell like anything else. Basically, that is what I wear if I want to wear this scent, and not “waste” any juice. I keep that scarf (and others that hold amazing scents) in separate ziplock bags 🙂
The notes listing looks like an ADD madhouse hopped up on some serious cocaine…I have no idea how all of that works but it somehow manages to make me smell lovely. I used about 10 of the 30 ml this past fall/winter, so I hope I can get another couple of seasons out of this, as this winter has been mostly a joke here in Baltimore! I do believe my next bottle will be a 50, though.

So here we have a real suede note screaming. Seems like very high quality suede, like one Bentley would use for the headliner of the interior of a contential gt. But, I detect and equal amount of medicinal oud. Very medicinal overall and I would have to pass on purchasing this. I am glad I have been able to experience this though, it is very interesting and I can see certain enthueists picking this up.

This house is just TERRIBLY AMAZING.
Animalic (suede + castoreum + balsamic + ambergris + musc)
sweetened by (whipped cream, nutmeg, labdanum)
and mixed with patchouli, myrrh, cardamom, mint, and tonka bean.
This is just amazingly captivating, dark, sonftened with sensuality, and beaten by sweetness, just balanced and made with superb quality.

Suedois has a very very complex opening. Upon initial application, one gets blasted with an extremely dense and rich blend of labdanum, castoreum, suede, syrupy raspberry, resinous balsamic notes, some heavy spiciness, and a sort of milky, woody sweetness. It’s everything at once and it’s kind of a lot to take in. I’m not so sure the raspberry fits in as it gives the whole opening a “witch-doctor’s cough syrup” vibe. Thankfully it doesn’t hang around too long and the drydown moves away from the medicinal facets and into a much more pleasant direction.
It has this strangely familiar quality, but I can’t seem to place what it reminds me of. The suede is the main player, but theres a very noticeable labdanum and castoreum/birch smokiness that is supported by a strange milky-sweet sandal base that’s compelling. Polarizing, i would imagine as it’s kind of the distilled essence of the milkiest facets of sandalwood and that has the ability to turn stomachs (including my own) on occasion. The far drydown is a soft patchouli, suede, and sandalwood combo thats nice enough.
All in all I really like Suedois, but I don’t think I can see myself reaching for it too much. The sandal-suede-focused drydown is my favorite part, It’s tempting to compare this brand to slumberhouse for their dark, thick extraits and their sort of southern gothic/black metal atmosphere/apothecary aesthetic, but I think Euphorium lacks the precision and focus of the better slumberhouses. That being said, this corner of the niche world could use a few more players so the brand is a welcome addition and their fragrances are worth a try from anyone who likes to smell dark, complex or mysterious.
