French Avenue · Royal Collection · Spiced Tobacco · Unisex
Forbidden spice, royal indulgence.
Cardamom, cinnamon, amber and benzoin open into tobacco, cashmere wood, heliotrope and jasmine over a vanilla-patchouli-tonka-dry wood base — a luxurious, forbidden oriental.
About This Fragrance
French Avenue Royal Taboo is a fragrance that lives up to its provocative name — a forbidden indulgence wrapped in royal sophistication. The opening of cardamom, cinnamon, amber, and benzoin is immediately opulent: four warm, resinous-spiced ingredients combining to create an introduction that feels both ancient and contemporary, both comforting and slightly dangerous.
The heart of tobacco, cashmere wood, heliotrope, and jasmine is extraordinarily rich. Tobacco's earthy sweetness paired with cashmere wood's soft textile warmth, heliotrope's powdery almond-vanilla quality, and jasmine's lush floral richness creates a heart of genuine complexity. The base of vanilla, patchouli, tonka bean, and dry wood provides the final, lasting foundation — warm, earthy, and deeply satisfying. Royal Taboo is the fragrance for those who understand that the most memorable luxuries are often the ones whispered about.
