French Avenue Enigma Deux

Enigma Deux is a 2023 unisex Eau de Parfum built around tonka bean and oud over amber and vanilla. Community wearers consistently describe a broader cognac, cinnamon and apple pie effect in wear, making it a sweet boozy gourmand despite the unusually sparse published pyramid.

Mykonos Dark Secret

Dark Secret is a rich spiced cherry oriental extrait built around the intoxicating combination of saffron, black cherry, and praline over a warm sandalwood and tonka base, inspired by the boozy cherry spice territory of By Kilian Angels' Share but taking a darker, more mysterious direction rooted in spice and incense rather than cognac.
