Blue Suede Shoes

Blue Suede Shoes is a masculine woody fragrance from the Italian brand Roberto Ugolini, created by Christian Carbonnel and Blanca Dalmau and released in 2019. Spice makes up about half of its character, with lighter sweet, aromatic, amber and citrus touches.

Anise opens it with a soft, liquorice-like sweetness, joined by bergamot's bright citrus, lavender's clean herbal note and pepper's dry sparkle. The heart is woody and warm: patchouli earthy, cedar dry, sandalwood creamy, with amber adding a gentle glow. The base brings vetiver, tonka bean and labdanum, which give a grassy dryness, an almond-like sweetness and a dark, leathery resin, a nod to the suede of the name.

It suits autumn and spring, office days and smart casual evenings. It should appeal to someone who likes classic aromatic woods with a soft, slightly sweet anise twist and a warm, resinous base.
