The Full Story

Alcantara is a proprietary synthetic suede material used in luxury automotive interiors and fashion. The olfactory accord captures its distinctive smell: soft, slightly powdery, warm, with a clean textile character distinct from natural suede (which is muskier and more animalic). Built from suede-type musks, powdery materials, and clean textile-fresh notes.
