The atmosphere
A scent built for the hour just before the lights come up.
There is a moment, on every successful evening, when the afternoon meeting has ended and the dinner has not yet begun. The light outside has gone copper. The room you have been working in feels suddenly more interesting than it did at noon.
That hour has a scent. Penthouse Suede is that scent.
It opens sharply — bergamot, cardamom, nutmeg — like the first conversation of the evening. It settles into suede and amber resin at the heart, the long warmth of being somewhere you have earned. And it stays there, through dinner and after, on the lapel and the wrist and the back of the neck.
Why suede
Most leather scents project. Suede listens.
Leather as a fragrance note tends to be assertive — smoky, dark, drawing attention. Suede is leather's quieter cousin. It has the same depth, the same animalic warmth, but with a softness that reads as composure rather than aggression.
Penthouse Suede uses suede as its center of gravity — wrapped in amber resin to give it heat, tonka bean and vanilla to give it sweetness, musk to give it skin.
The result is a fragrance that wears like a perfectly broken-in jacket. Earned, not announced.
The composition
Eight ingredients. Three movements.

Spice and citrus. The first hour of the evening.
Heart — the suede
Suede Amber Resin
The center of gravity. Warmth made wearable.
Base — the long night
Tonka Bean Musk Vanilla
The settle. Sweet, skin-warm, hours after.

Where it wears
A fragrance for the hours that count.
i.
The promotion dinner
The cardamom on the elevator up; the suede across the table at the second course; the tonka still there when you sign the bill.
ii.
The rooftop in October
Light goes copper, glasses come out. The amber resin warms with the drink, the suede holds through the cool of the wind.
iii.
The Saturday you left the city
Worn casually — under a sweater, after the workout, into a quiet evening at home. Penthouse Suede doesn't require an occasion.
The hand behind the bottle
Julie Pluchet
Master Perfumer · Trained in Grasse, France
"Leather projects. Suede invites."
Julie's body of work spans both: bold leather fragrances for major houses and softer suede accords for niche perfumers. Penthouse Suede is her case for the softer choice — the argument that fragrances which whisper often outlast those which announce.
She paired the suede heart with amber resin to give it heat without smoke, then tonka and vanilla at the base for the long evening close. Eight ingredients only — restraint as a design choice.
Penthouse Suede became one of HABIBI's most-loved Extrait de Parfum signatures within months of release.

"I have a colleague who wears Tom Ford Tuscan Leather every day. He asked me what I was wearing. I told him. He bought one the next week."

"My wife borrowed this one and refused to give it back. We bought a second bottle. It is the rare fragrance that works on both of us, depending on the day."

"It is the only fragrance I own where I can smell the dry-down on the pillow the next morning. Worth every dollar of the $200."

The questions we hear most.
How does suede smell different from leather?
Leather is darker, smokier, more assertive — built to project. Suede is softer, warmer, closer to skin. Think of the difference between a leather jacket and a suede one: both are leather, but the experience of being near them is different. Penthouse Suede leans into that softness.
Is Extrait de Parfum really stronger than Eau de Parfum?
Yes. Extrait is the highest concentration tier — 25% pure perfume oils in this case. Where most Eaux de Parfum last 6-8 hours, Penthouse Suede holds 10-14 hours. Two sprays carries through a full day plus the evening.
How does it compare to your other Extrait?
Palace Grove ($200) is contemplative — orange blossom, fig, incense, oud. Magnificent Rose ($200) is the women's flagship. Penthouse Suede is the evening-leaning unisex with the most masculine-readable heart. The three together are HABIBI's Extrait trio.
Is it really unisex?
Yes. Suede + tonka + vanilla make it warm and approachable for women. Amber resin + dry top notes give it the structure men gravitate toward. Couples share bottles often.
