Aromatix X French Avenue Carnal Desire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Carnal Desire opens with Bergamot, Cinnamon, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Cotton Candy, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Oud, and Patchouli. Aromatix X French Avenue's Carnal Desire carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a luscious raspberry-leather dream, niche-level quality at a bargain. Others find it an overpowering, headache-inducing oud and leather nightmare with no sweetness and synthetic vibes. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Carnal Desire is a powerhouse, frequently described as 'beast mode' with extreme longevity, making it unsuitable for the office. Its deeply sensual, bold sweet-leather profile is perfect for date nights and formal events, while its strong projection limits casual wear to specific situations and cold weather.

About

Carnal Desire bursts forth with a sweet, jammy raspberry, spiced by cinnamon and brightened by a hint of bergamot. As it settles, a creamy cotton candy and soft orris emerge, soon enveloped by rich, often challenging leather and oud. Patchouli, cedar and vanilla anchor the scent, creating a bold, almost animalic depth with lingering sweetness at its core.
