French Avenue Sultan The Founder is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Sultan The Founder opens with Amber, Oud, and Patchouli, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Oakmoss, and Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Civet, Labdanum, and Amberwood. French Avenue's Sultan The Founder carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

This one's a bit of a wildcard, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. While some find the oud fruity and alluring, a vocal minority can't get past a decidedly 'fecal' opening. If you like your musky, woody scents on the bold side, it's a winner, but sample first.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Spring Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent performance and strong, distinctive oud and animalic accords make it unsuitable for most office environments. It shines on dates and formal evenings, where its sophisticated, bold character can make a strong impression. Casual wear is possible if you're looking to make a statement, but it's far too heavy for sport.

About

Sultan The Founder opens with a rich, dark blend of oud, earthy patchouli, and warm amber, immediately establishing its commanding presence. As it settles, the heart introduces a smooth, almost fluffy cashmere wood intertwined with the subtle muskiness of ambrette and a hint of green oakmoss. The base plunges into animalic depths with civet and the resinous warmth of labdanum and amberwood, creating a long-lasting, powerful trail.
