Avenue Montaigne, which connects the Champs-Elysées with the Alma Bridge, is considered one of the most exclusive and luxurious streets in Paris, the capital of France. The most important haute couture brands such as Chanel, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chloe, Céline, Thierry Mugler, Saint-Laurent Paris, Prada, Gucci, etc. are located there. Plus, the view of the Eiffel Tower from Place de l'Alma is spectacular.
For me, Avenue Montaigne, in addition to the wonderful boutiques or rather palaces of haute couture, is also associated with a special restaurant - L'Avenue. It is located at the intersection of Avenue Montaigne – Rue Francois 1er with a picturesque outdoor terrace. L’Avenue is the meeting place for models coming from the casting, for elegant ladies who went shopping on Avenue Montaigne, illustrious gentlemen and Paris tourists. I could sit there all day and watch the goings-on.

When I look back at the images and impressions, I can literally see the scent that is supposed to capture it all.  He has to be elegant, very elegant, but also chic and sexy, very present, quite loud in his own way but with style, mystical but not oriental, classic French approach, quite snobbish.

Liquid Inspiration:

Floral elegance that also has a lot of charisma requires the finest flower essences. I chose French jasmine from Grasse, which is still in a class of its own. He has a lot of charisma and a high level of persistence and that seductive quality that I associate with elegant, ultra-chic women. Plus iris, ylang-ylang, violet and rose, all classics that perfectly accompany the jasmine. Freshness must also be present; with bergamot and green notes. A pinch of fruitiness but no more. Soft base that radiates warmth and gives volume.

Finest Liquid:

I would describe the opening as dry, powdery and intense, present with great charisma. Maximum elegance, thanks to the unsweet, dry, powdery finish. It is the interplay of jasmine with the green notes and the atlas cedar. The dryness comes from the leather notes, but they are not dark leather notes, but light ones. The scent builds up and has an intense course. Becomes warmer and softer over time without losing its potential. A fragrance that expresses distinguished French elegance like no other.
