The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Suede by Michael Kors was launched in 2012, positioning itself as an elegant blend of floral, woody, and musky notes. The fragrance opens with the freshness of mandarin orange and water lily before transitioning into a heart that features the rich and sensual qualities of tuberose, jasmine, and frangipani. The base notes of cashmere wood, sandalwood, and musk create a warm, enveloping finish that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Suede's warm base notes take time to develop on skin, so allow a few minutes before reapplying. It's best worn during cooler hours when its woody-musky warmth is most noticeable.
