French Avenue Scorpio is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Jean-Christophe Hérault. Scorpio opens with Davana, Lemon, Neroli, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Clary Sage, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tobacco, and Styrax. French Avenue's Scorpio carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, cosy tobacco-rum scent with an inviting sweetness, delivered at an unbelievable price point. It's often compared to Jazz Club, but Scorpio offers a more masculine, less sweet take that's arguably more versatile.

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
Also Works:
Casual Formal

While its longevity is strong, Scorpio's more intimate sillage and rich, warm profile make it less suited for a professional office setting. It truly shines on dates or in more formal evening events due to its elegant and sensual character, but can also work casually in cooler weather.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • 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

Scorpio opens with a vibrant, slightly spicy kick of pink pepper and davana, tempered by bright lemon. As it settles, a smooth, boozy rum note emerges, intertwined with herbaceous clary sage and earthy vetiver. The drydown unveils a sophisticated blend of rich vanilla, warm tobacco, and resinous styrax, creating a deeply comforting and masculine aura.
