Meringue

by Carole Calmettes

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

Its potent projection and distinct leather character make it less suitable for the office, but it excels in intimate settings where its unique blend can be appreciated. While some find it versatile, its strong character is better suited for cooler evenings and special occasions.

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.
