Sultry Woods by French Avenue is a sophisticated, warm, and earthy scent, perfect for creating an atmosphere of quiet opulence.

An Inspired Fragrance

This fragrance is inspired by Shem by Nishane, offering a similar profile with its luxurious rose and woody leather facets.

This scent opens like a vibrant tapestry woven from a sultan's garden, where the velvety whisper of Turkish rose meets the crisp, uplifting snap of geranium, all underscored by the warm, aromatic crackle of cardamom. It’s an immediate, exhilarating plunge into opulence. As the initial brightness softens, the heart emerges, a smoky, resinous core where cypriol oil lends an earthy depth, contrasting with the apricot-tinged sweetness of osmanthus. A rich vein of amber acts as liquid gold, binding these elements together, suggesting a warm, lingering embrace. Finally, the fragrance settles into its foundation, a rugged yet refined landscape. Aged leather forms the backbone, a cloak of timeless sophistication, while the green, smoky tendrils of vetiver ground the composition. Elemi adds a final, ethereal incense-like resin, making the dry down feel like walking into a dimly lit, ancient library where every book holds a secret. Wearing this is less a choice of perfume and more an adoption of an atmosphere, a scent that speaks of journeys taken and stories waiting to unfold.
