The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025, Obsidian by French Avenue is a composition that marries the brightness of citrus and aldehydes with the warmth of vanilla and amber. The opening notes of grapefruit and aldehydes create an immediate sense of freshness and modernity, while bergamot adds a zesty layer. As it evolves, myrrh and labdanum contribute earthy undertones that balance the sweetness of jasmine and tonka bean. This fragrance is designed to be both striking and comforting, making it a versatile choice for various occasions.
Apply lightly at first; the aldehydic top notes are vibrant but dissipate quickly. The base notes, particularly the vanilla and amber, develop over time and provide long-lasting warmth. Ideal for cooler weather when you want a scent that feels cozy yet fresh.
