The notes in each pick
French Avenue Liquid Brun (Eau de Parfum, 2024) smells like warm spiced vanilla cream with a hint of citrus brightness, starting with orange blossom and cardamom before praline, gaiac wood and musk take over. 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. French Avenue Spectre Ghost (Eau de Parfum, 2023) is described as spiced vanilla with a whisper of rose and cedar; the opening brings green notes and bergamot, and the base settles on vanilla, benzoin and ambergris.
