The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023 by Etat Libre d'Orange, Clean Suede is a daring Leather fragrance created by perfumer Antoine Lie. This composition opens with the crisp freshness of aldehydes and lemon, cutting through the richness of birch and pine before settling into a warm, powdery suede base enhanced by vanilla and musk. The contrast between its fresh aromatic top notes and its enveloping leather warmth makes it a fragrance that evolves gracefully throughout the day.
Apply one or two sprays — the aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting, while the powdery leather base will linger for hours. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves subtly throughout the day.
