French Avenue Royal Blend Sequoia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Royal Blend Sequoia opens with Cognac, Liquor, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Oakmoss and Rose, and dries down to a base of Oak, Sandalwood, and Praline. French Avenue's Royal Blend Sequoia carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a battleground. Some rave about its luxurious raspberry and boozy embrace, hailing it as a masterpiece dupe. Others are put off by a medicinal opening and fleeting raspberry, calling it a cheap, flat imitation. Expect strong opinions, but ultimately, it delivers on warmth and sweetness for those who love its syrupy charm.

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.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

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

Imagine a rich, boozy raspberry liqueur poured over a slab of dark oak and sandalwood. The initial burst of sweet, jammy raspberry and decadent liquor gives way to a subtle, earthy rose and moss, before settling into a creamy, gourmand blend of praline and warm woods. It's a sweet, woody journey with an alcoholic kick.
