Eisenberg So French! is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. So French! opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Rose, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Leather, Jasmine, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Eisenberg's So French! carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a bold, unapologetically vintage-leaning leather chypre that divides opinion. Some find it a sophisticated homage to classic French perfumery, others a bit too much, smelling of smoked sausage and old-school powder. Definitely not a 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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its bold, classic character and moderate sillage make it a bit much for everyday office wear, but perfect for more formal events or a distinctive date night. It's too rich and complex for casual daytime use or any sporting activities.

About

A complex opening of bright bergamot and mandarin quickly gives way to a rich, aromatic heart where prominent leather mingles with powdery iris and soft violet, underpinned by a distinctive lavender. The dry down settles into a warm, woody base of cedarwood and sandalwood, with hints of musk, patchouli, and a touch of vanilla adding depth and a lingering smoky sweetness.
