Pros & Cons
- ✅ I have sweet suede and 2 bottles Ch Men (Red ribbon and 2017) and sweet suede's opening is 95% to my 2017 bottle's and the dry down is 99% of my red ribbon. The performance is more along the lines of the Red ribbon bottle then my 2017 bottle, but still not great.
- ✅ A little less green grassy/cucumber in the opening, but strikingly similar to CH, and performs very well. It would be full bottle worthy for anyone who really enjoys CH.
- ✅ Being that I’m a big CH Men fan I can tell you this smells exactly like the original formulation but performs so much better. Finally I can wear this fragrance without having to worry if it’ll last. Sweet Suede is my #1 date fragrance now.
- ✅ Great release from Alexandria, does it smell like CH Man? Absolutely. Does it last? Most definitely. Recommend getting it all over a tshirt because you are going to love picking it off the floor and putting it on a couple days later.
- ✅ I'll never forget when I got my first batch of Alexandria Fragrance samples how this one stuck out as an immediate favorite based on the smell.

- ✅ I'll never forget when I got my first batch of Alexandria Fragrance samples how this one stuck out as an immediate favorite based on the smell. Super weak in terms of performance/longevity though. Now that I have CH Men, I can say that Sweet Suede smells almost identical.

- ❌ I bought a sample of this, with really high hopes that it would identical to vintage CH Men. IMHO, It's closer to My Land by Trussardi. I really wish this had the grass accord from the red ribbon CH Men, but it doesn't.

I really wish this had the grass accord from the red ribbon CH Men, but it doesn't. My Land has much better projection than Sweet Suede and has a much better price, but this IS a solid release.
