About This Perfume
French Avenue Veneno Scarlet smells like ripe berries with cinnamon spice and warm leather underneath. Think jam, spice and a dark edge, all in one bottle.
Blackberry, strawberry and caramel open it sweet and juicy. Cinnamon, cedar and raspberry fill the heart, keeping the fruit going while the spice warms up. The base turns deeper, with leather, patchouli, tonka bean, fir and vanilla giving it a darker, more grown-up finish.
This 2025 eau de parfum reads unisex and is best at night in spring, fall and winter, on casual evenings. It has long longevity and projects to about arm's length, a comfortable but noticeable trail.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone who loves dark, jammy fruit with spice and leather.
- Sample first if: you are thinking of buying blind. The community rates it lower on blind-buy safety, and it divides opinion.
- Skip if: sweet fruit and leather together sound like too much, or you want a daytime fresh scent.
Around $49.
