French Avenue Paradox Orient
Paradox Orient is a 2023 unisex Eau de Parfum built around ambergris and bergamot over amber. The published Fragrantica pyramid is unusually sparse, while Parfumo lists a different structure centred on juniper berry, leather, amber, maté and tonka bean. The consistent wearer impression is a green leather fragrance with amber warmth rather than a simple amber scent.
Rayhaan Dark Leather
Rayhaan Dark Leather is a green aromatic leather fragrance that captures the rugged, outdoors driven DNA of MEMO Paris Irish Leather through herbal freshness, earthy depth, and a smoky leather amber base.
