About This Perfume
French Avenue Chronicles comes across as warm vanilla and incense with a dusting of powder. It opens with elemi resin, myrrh and pink pepper, moves into frankincense, heliotrope and iris and settles on musk, tonka bean and vanilla. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for date nights. Released in 2025.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and powdery for date nights.

French Avenue Vulcan Feu (Eau de Parfum, 2025) reads as juicy mango and ginger with creamy vanilla warmth underneath, opening on mango and lemon and drying down to tonka bean, cedar and ambergris.
