About This Perfume

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.

Is French Avenue Right for You?

Best for: shoppers who want a woody-amber-vanilla perfume with serious community backing, Liquid Brun's 355 mentions make it the single most-discussed perfume across every brand in this collection group. Sample first if: you're buying anything other than Liquid Brun, since community opinion is far more concentrated on that one bottle than spread evenly across the catalogue. Skip if: you want a fresh, light citrus scent, French Avenue leans warm and woody throughout. Fresh covers that ground better.
