Fragrance character
So Suede Eau de Parfum is a unisex fragrance from Wilgermain, released in 2023.
This expressive composition has a leathery, woody and aromatic character, in which austere green nuances gradually soften into a powdery floral heart.
Wilgermain is a young Spanish perfume house founded in 2020, focused on emotional, contemporary niche perfumery.
So Suede captures this energetic aesthetic perfectly: it smells bold, composed and distinctive, while retaining a touch of refinement.
Development and mood
From the first minutes, So Suede Eau de Parfum announces itself with a dry green-spicy accord.
Laurel, thyme and wormwood create a sensation of cool air, bitter herbs and noble austerity, as if the fragrance were revealing the image of someone with impeccable taste and a strong character.
As it unfolds, the composition becomes softer and deeper.
Iris adds powdery smoothness, osmanthus brings a delicate floral nuance, while warm benzoin connects the herbaceous opening with the rich base.
The finish is built around cedar, oakmoss, a leather accord and suede.
As a result, the base feels textured and three-dimensional, combining the dryness of wood, the velvety feel of suede and a subtle earthy shadow of moss.
Positioning and wearability
So Suede is positioned as a unisex fragrance and unfolds equally naturally on women’s and men’s skin.
It will appeal to those who prefer intelligent fragrances with character, a pronounced texture and beautiful development rather than sweet, compliment-getting compositions.
The Eau de Parfum has a very powerful sillage, so its presence can be sensed from a distance and lingers in the air after the wearer has left.
With such a rich and intense profile, it is especially well suited to cooler seasons, evening outings, business attire and occasions when the fragrance should become part of one’s personal style.
Specific recommendations for applying it to skin and clothing are not available for this release.
Given the composition’s high intensity, it is best to choose a moderate number of sprays yourself, taking into account your skin’s reaction and the surrounding space.
The perfumer and its place in the brand’s collection
So Suede was created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux, known for his attention to expressive materials and complex contrasts.
In this fragrance, he combines green spice, powdery florals and a leathery-woody base, giving the composition a cohesive, multilayered character.
No information is available about So Suede belonging to a separate collection or about other concentrations of this fragrance.
Nevertheless, the release clearly highlights Wilgermain’s ambitions: the young brand demonstrates a confident approach to niche perfumery and focuses on memorable, emotionally rich compositions.
