Our verdict on Avant: Favourite

This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. While some find its smoky take on a classic DNA a bargain, a significant chunk of folks reckon it smells like burnt sausages, dirty campfires, or rotten veg. Definitely not a blind buy unless you're feeling adventurous and have ten quid to spare.

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its intensely smoky character makes it a bit much for a formal setting or the office, but its fresh, energetic opening suits casual wear and even sport. The divisive nature of the smoke means it's a risky pick for a date, but could work if your date enjoys an unusual smoky scent.

About

Opens with a brisk, zesty burst of lemon and bergamot, cut with a green freshness that promises vitality. The heart introduces a spicy kick from pepper and a clean, floral whisper of jasmine and lavender. The dry-down settles into a smoky vetiver and earthy patchouli, underpinned by a soft musk. It's a journey from bright citrus to a surprisingly smoky, woody depth.
