Spectre Eau de Parfum

The full profile.
French Avenue Spectre smells like smoldering wood and leather with a whisper of spice. Short note list, big personality.
Labdanum and saffron open it resinous and warm, with no bright citrus to ease you in. Birch tar sits at the heart, which is where the smoky, campfire-leather feel comes from. Benzoin and oud form the base, sweetening the smoke slightly and adding depth.
This 2023 eau de parfum leans masculine and is a night scent for spring, fall and winter, built for nights out. Longevity is long, and projection can fill a room.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone who loves smoky leather and birch tar and wants a signature evening scent.
- Sample first if: you have never worn birch tar. The community finds it divisive and rates it lower on blind-buy safety.
- Skip if: you want anything sweet, fresh or office-safe.
It scores well on value in the communities Scendira tracks.
Around $29.
