Suede

Suede is a type of leather with a napped finish. It is primarily made from the underside of the lamb skin, although goat, pig, calf and deer skin are commonly used. Suede distinguishes its softness, thinness, and pliability. Such features make it suitable for delicate clothes and accessories; originally suede was mainly used for women’s gloves. The term “suede” itself comes from the French “gants de Suède”, which literally means “gloves of Sweden”. In perfumery the suede scent is used for purpose of introducing velvety soft, musky, woody and leathery nuances in the composition. It is an imaginary accord created by perfumers and produced as a synthetic ingredient. The subtle, thoroughbred suede note can be included in fine fragrance for both men’s and women’s perfumes.
