French Avenue Nabatieh is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Jordi Fernández. Nabatieh opens with Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Almond, settles into a heart of Date, Iris, Vanilla, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Smoke, Cedar, and Tonka Bean. French Avenue's Nabatieh carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Nabatieh is a divisive brew; a rich, dark, and complex blend of dates, coffee, and spice that some find an addictive masterpiece, while others are left cold by its intensity. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like a fragrant gamble.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its depth, warmth, and strong sillage, as noted by reviewers, make it unsuitable for office wear. This is a fragrance built for cooler evenings and special occasions, where its rich and bold character can truly shine.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a potent blast of cardamom and cinnamon, softened by a creamy whisper of almond. The heart unveils a robust coffee note intertwined with the syrupy sweetness of dates and a hint of vanilla, all underpinned by the elegant earthiness of orris. The dry down settles into a smoky woodiness, with cedar and akigalawood embracing tonka bean for a resinous, warm finish.
