Description
El Dorado is an oriental woody fragrance for men from French Avenue, launched in 2024. It opens with bright mandarin against nutmeg, cumin and a touch of caramel, so it starts both fruity and slightly savoury.
Saffron, violet and ambroxan sit in the heart. The base is soft leather with oud, akigalawood, moss, vanilla and white musk, giving a suede-like, woody finish with a gentle sweetness.
