French Avenue 2025 Extrait

U ££

Obsidian

Name: Obsidian Extrait
Brand: French Avenue

French Avenue Obsidian is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025. Obsidian opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Myrrh, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean, Amber, and Vanilla. French Avenue's Obsidian carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

A divisive scent that aims for a fresh twist on a boozy classic. Expect a blast of fizzy citrus up front, mellowing into a sweet, amber base. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some hailing it as a versatile gem and others dismissing it as synthetic and uninspired.

About

Obsidian opens with a vibrant, almost effervescent burst of grapefruit and bergamot, underscored by bright aldehydes, giving it an invigorating, sparkly kick. This juicy freshness then transitions into a resinous heart of myrrh and labdanum, adding a hint of warmth and depth. The dry down is a comforting embrace of creamy vanilla, sweet tonka, and rich amber, leaving a soft, lingering sweetness that's both inviting and mellow.
