Description
This set puts two 100ml French Avenue bottles together that sit at different ends of the warm spectrum. Liquid Brun opens on cinnamon and cardamom, lifted by bergamot and orange blossom. Azzure Aoud opens on passionfruit and fruity notes with rose and saffron, which gives it a brighter, juicier start.
In the heart, Liquid Brun turns to bourbon vanilla and elemi while Azzure Aoud moves into oud, benzoin and patchouli. The bases go separate ways too: praline, guaiac wood, ambroxan and musk for Liquid Brun, and leather, amber, labdanum, vanilla and a mix of guaiac, cedar and sandalwood for Azzure Aoud. One is a spiced vanilla, the other a fruity oud, so the two bottles do different jobs.
Inspired By
Liquid Brun is widely compared to Parfums de Marly Althaïr, which shares its cinnamon, cardamom, orange blossom, bourbon vanilla, elemi and praline structure. Azzure Aoud is widely compared to Maison Crivelli Oud Maracujá, built on the same pairing of passionfruit with oud and leather. French Avenue does not name either inspiration itself. The comparisons come from wearers and reviewers.
The comparison refers to scent profile only. Liquid Brun and Azzure Aoud are French Avenue’s own compositions in their own bottles and packaging. Scent Limited is not affiliated with or endorsed by Parfums de Marly or Maison Crivelli, and all brand names belong to their respective owners.
