French Avenue Meringue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Carole Calmettes. Meringue opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Suede and Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Musk, Birch, Vanilla, and Ambergris. French Avenue's Meringue carries a Statement verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you, this is no fluffy dessert. French Avenue's Meringue is a divisive beast: a potent, smoky-sweet leather with a fruity kick that challenges expectations and polarises opinion. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent, often needing time to settle into its true character.

About

A complex dance of contrasts, Meringue opens with a sharp, juicy burst of pineapple and mandarin, quickly giving way to a rich, warm suede that dominates. The heart deepens with creamy sandalwood, while a smoky birch weaves through, grounded by a musky, vanilla-ambergris base. It's a bold leather, smoothed at the edges with sweet undertones and a touch of fruit.
