Moonstone Noire

by Jean-Louis Sieuzac

French Avenue Moonstone Noire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac. Moonstone Noire settles into a heart of Vetiver and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vanilla, and Oud. French Avenue's Moonstone Noire carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Moonstone Noire is a divisive, unapologetically bold beast. This isn't your everyday crowd-pleaser; it's a sophisticated, dark leather and vanilla combo with an animalic edge that some find intoxicatingly unique, while others recoil from its 'off' notes. If you appreciate a challenging, long-lasting scent that makes a statement, this is for you.

Given its strong sillage and exceptional longevity, Moonstone Noire is ill-suited for the office or casual daytime wear, where it might overwhelm. It truly shines in evening settings like dates and formal events, where its dark, complex character can be appreciated without being overbearing.

About

Moonstone Noire opens with a rich, dark leather accord, immediately setting an intense, sophisticated tone. This deep leather quickly intertwines with a creamy vanilla, adding a surprising sweetness that softens its edge. As it dries, warm woody notes of vetiver and cedar emerge, grounded by an animalic oud that lends a mysterious, almost smoky depth. The interplay creates a complex, evolving scent profile.
