French Avenue Veneno Scarlet is a fragrance of dangerous sweetness — the kind of beauty that is impossible to ignore and impossible to forget. The opening of strawberry, blackberry, and caramel is immediately seductive: rich red fruits and sweet caramel creating a combination that is simultaneously fresh and indulgent. The name Veneno (Spanish for venom) is perfect — this is sweetness with a sting.
The heart of raspberry, cedar, and cinnamon adds warmth and spice to the sweet opening, cedar providing a clean woody backbone while cinnamon adds an edge of danger. The base of leather, caramel, patchouli, fir, vanilla, and tonka bean is extraordinarily complex — six ingredients working together to create a warm, dark, resinous foundation that is one of the richest in the entire French Avenue portfolio. As an extrait, Veneno Scarlet is exceptional value for its complexity.
