Dark as obsidian, radiant as gold.
Grapefruit, aldehydes and bergamot open into myrrh, labdanum and jasmine over a warm amber-tonka-vanilla base — a dark, luminous oriental.
About This Fragrance
French Avenue Obsidian is a study in beautiful contradiction. It opens with the brightness of grapefruit, aldehydes, and bergamot — sparkling, luminous, almost radiant — before revealing a heart that is exactly the opposite: dark, resinous, and mysterious. Myrrh, labdanum, and jasmine form a heart that is simultaneously ancient and sensual.
The transition from the bright opening to the dark resinous heart is where Obsidian shows its artistry. The base of amber, tonka bean, and vanilla brings warmth and sweetness to balance the resinous depth — creating a fragrance that is complex, beautiful, and genuinely wears differently on every person. As an Extrait De Parfum, Obsidian's rich concentration means it reveals new facets across a 10–12 hour arc of wear.
