French Avenue Veneno is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac. Veneno opens with Smoke, Cinnamon, and Apple, settles into a heart of Oakmoss and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Orcanox and Vanilla. French Avenue's Veneno carries an Acquired verdict, a smoky-led wear.

This one's a proper sweet-smoky apple shisha bomb, and it clearly divides the room. Some absolutely adore its rich, gourmand depth and performance, while others find it cloying and artificial. Best to scent-test before committing to this bold, attention-grabbing fragrance.

Its potent projection and sweet, smoky accords make it far too overpowering for an office setting. However, it excels for dates and evening events due to its sensual and attention-grabbing nature. Some reviewers suggest it's too much for casual wear, labelling it as highly unsuitable for such situations.

About

Veneno opens with a delicious, authentic blast of smoky apple and warm cinnamon, creating an immediate warmth. This fruity, spicy introduction mellows into a heart of rich tobacco and damp oakmoss, adding a sophisticated, earthy depth. The base unfolds with creamy vanilla and the subtle, inviting allure of Orcanox, rounding out a dark, sweet, and undeniably sensual experience. It evokes spiced apple pie enjoyed whilst smoking a shisha pipe.
