Liquid Brun Limited Edition
Sold out for now
Cinnamon, bourbon vanilla and praline on a guaiac frame
French Avenue Liquid Brun has a gourmand-leaning recorded pyramid: Cinnamon, Orange Blossom, Cardamom and Bergamot on top, Bourbon Vanilla and Elemi in the heart, and Praline, Ambroxan, Guaiac Wood and Musk in the base. Sweet, spiced perfumes are easiest to judge on skin, and a 10 ml decant allows exactly that.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The top is Cinnamon, Orange Blossom, Cardamom and Bergamot. Cinnamon and cardamom bring the spice, orange blossom a soft white-floral note and bergamot a citrus lift. See whether the spice feels warm and inviting or too heavy in the first moments.
The heart holds Bourbon Vanilla and Elemi. Bourbon vanilla is rich and creamy, while elemi, a resin, adds a lighter, drier counterpoint. With only two notes in this stage, the contrast between sweet and resin is easy to follow, and so is the moment the spice from the top fades away.
The base is Praline, Ambroxan, Guaiac Wood and Musk. Praline carries the sweetness, ambroxan adds a clean warmth, guaiac wood a smoky dryness and musk softness. This stage decides whether Liquid Brun feels edible-sweet or woody to you.
Testing it
Test it on a cool day or evening and apply a modest amount, since sweet spiced perfumes can get dense. Smell the cinnamon at first, the vanilla in the middle and the praline and wood near the end. Repeat on a second day to see whether the sweetness feels the same.
Liquid Brun is for people who like sweet, spiced and woody perfumes from the gourmand family, for evenings and special occasions. At FragranceGems it is listed for men, in strong intensity, for autumn and winter. If you prefer fresh scents, the sample shows quickly whether this warm profile is too much.
Gourmand perfumes with cinnamon and praline can feel comforting or overwhelming depending on skin and mood. The decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, gives you several wearings to decide. French Avenue plays no part in the filling, and it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

With Bourbon vanilla and praline in the recorded pyramid, yes, it leans gourmand. Cinnamon, cardamom, elemi and guaiac wood add spice, resin and smoke, so it is not only sweet.
Guaiac wood is listed in the base. It adds a dry, smoky wood tone that sits against the praline and vanilla. Notice whether it balances the sweetness for you.
Begin with a light touch on the wrists, because cinnamon, vanilla and praline together build quickly. If you want more presence, add a little at the next wearing.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
