Description
Spectre is a leather fragrance for men from French Avenue, launched in 2023. It opens on incense and smoky gaiac wood, with saffron adding a golden, slightly leathery spice from the first spray.
The heart pairs leather with amberwood and violet, and a touch of sugar cane softens the smoke so it never turns harsh. The base settles into smoke and patchouli over sandalwood and woody notes, held close by black musk.
