French Avenue Francique 107.9 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Francique 107.9 opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Cherry, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Heliotrope, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk, Tonka Bean, Ambroxan, and Labdanum. French Avenue's Francique 107.9 carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive cherry-vanilla number - some reckon it's a masterpiece dupe of Rouge Smoking, others find it a weak, waxy candle. Don't expect a juicy cherry bomb, but do brace for a cosy, powdery vanilla with a peppery kick. A complex, love-it-or-hate-it scent for brave souls.

About

Francique 107.9 opens with a fleeting pop of bergamot and a surprising hit of pepper, quickly blending into a soft, powdery heart of heliotrope and orange blossom. The star is a warm, slightly bitter cherry nestled in a creamy vanilla and tonka bean base. Frankincense and ambroxan provide a subtle smokey amber depth, giving it an elegant, almost vintage feel that lingers with a clean musk.
