Suede Eau de Parfum

Polarizing and provocative, Rook’s take on leather is perhaps not as smooth as the name Suede might suggest, but for those who love animalic, realistically raw leather, there’s nothing else like it. Smoky, rugged, untanned leather is the star, still recognizably charred and fleshy, harkening back to times where leather was still made by hand. It weaves in a rich tobacco leaf, earthy, sweet, and natural, like the leathermaker was sitting at his tanning bench with a rolled cigarette dangling from his lips. While a delicate undercurrent of smooth suede makes the name more than just playful irony, those who only love the most delicate leather scents may want to look elsewhere. But for those who love raw, animalic, smoky leather, this is a magic potion not to be missed.
