French Avenue Royal Blend Bourbon is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025. Royal Blend Bourbon opens with Cedar, Cinnamon, Basil, and Mint, settles into a heart of Whisky and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Oak and Peru Balsam. French Avenue's Royal Blend Bourbon carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find it a richly layered boozy gourmand with chocolate and mint, others smell an alcoholic's bad breath. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before committing, but if you love it, you'll REALLY love it.

About

Royal Blend Bourbon opens with a sharp, spirited burst of whiskey, entwined with fresh mint, aromatic basil, and a hint of warm cinnamon. As it settles, the potent bourbon heart deepens, melding into rich, mature oak. The base rounds out with a sweet, resinous Peru balsam, creating a complex, dark, and boozy profile that lingers beautifully.
