French Avenue Libra is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Anne-Louise Gautier. Libra opens with Pink Pepper, Saffron, and Cherry, settles into a heart of Rose and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Myrrh, Incense, and Ambergris. French Avenue's Libra carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This cherry-violet stunner has truly divided the room. Some are convinced it's an elevated, even superior, offering, while others dismiss it as synthetic or childish. However, the champions of Libra praise its strong projection and distinct character.

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.

Its strong projection and rich cherry-amber profile make it a bit much for the office but ideal for dates and evening events. While some find it casual, its potent character leans more towards occasions where you want to make a statement.

About

Libra opens with a vibrant burst of slightly sour cherry, spiced up by pink pepper and a hint of saffron. As it settles, a floral heart of violet emerges, lending a sophisticated powdery touch, balanced by a smoky rose. The base deepens with warm amber and balsamic myrrh, adding an opulent, lingering presence that's both musky and subtly incense-laden.
