French Avenue 2025 EDT
Western Shisha
French Avenue Western Shisha is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Meabh (Mave) Mc Curtin. Western Shisha opens with Davana, Wine Grape, Bubble Gum, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Apple, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Vanilla. French Avenue's Western Shisha carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.
This one's a proper head-scratcher and not for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some calling it a unique shisha experience and others dismissing it as synthetic vape sludge. Definitely try before you commit, unless you fancy a very expensive gamble.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
Given its strong longevity and the often divisive nature of its 'challenging' scent profile, this isn't one for the office where subtlety is key. It shines brightest on a date or for casual evening wear, where its bold character and the boozy, sweet accords can be appreciated without overwhelming a formal setting.

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
