Lemon, sage and salt over moss and cedar
French Avenue Ravine Ice is an Eau de Parfum that opens with lemon and geranium, moves through sage, lavender and salt, and rests on moss, cedarwood and ambroxan. A cool, mineral perfume like this is judged best on your own skin and over several days, so a 10 ml decant is a sensible first step before the 100 ml bottle.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Lemon and geranium open the perfume. The lemon is sharp and clean, and geranium adds a faintly floral, minty nuance. FragranceGems describes the start as explosive and bright, so expect a cold, crisp first impression that comes before anything softer.
In the heart, sage and lavender make the perfume more aromatic and herbal, and salt adds a mineral, slightly marine tone. That touch of salt supports the icy impression FragranceGems describes, and it is the most unusual part of the pyramid.
The base is moss, cedarwood and ambroxan. Moss adds a cool, damp green tone, cedar a dry clean wood, and ambroxan a modern, skin-like glow. FragranceGems describes the finish as clean and cool, so do not expect sweetness here.
Testing it
Wear the sample first on a warm day, the kind of day cool, fresh perfumes are usually made for, and again on a mild one to see how much changes. A morning run or a gym session is a fair test too, as FragranceGems lists sport among its occasions.
For people who like fresh, aquatic and citrus perfumes with an aromatic touch. FragranceGems tags it as unisex, for daily wear, work and sport, and lists spring, summer and winter. If salt in a perfume sounds odd to you, the sample shows how it actually works.
Salt and sage in a perfume sound unusual on paper, and only skin can tell you whether the idea works. Please note that this is not an official brand sample, and our link to French Avenue is that of an independent seller. If you like it, you can reach the full bottle from here.

FragranceGems lists spring, summer and winter, so the cool character is not tied to one season. Test it once in warm weather and once in cold to see where you like it most.
The 10 ml glass spray vial is decanted by FragranceGems straight from the original bottle and carries our own label, so you always know what you are testing.
The recorded notes are lemon, geranium, sage, lavender, salt, moss, cedarwood and ambroxan, none of them sugary. The description stresses clean and cool rather than sweet.
The brand
French Avenue is a brand of Fragrance World, a Dubai company, and was founded in 2014. The house says it wants to bring "the richness of Parisian fragrance to everyone" and describes its perfumes as premium blends that balance quality and value. Many of them are here as samples, from the sweet Liquid Brun and Vulcan Feu to the icy Aromatix Platine Blanc. The range is broad, so sample first and let your skin sort it.

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.
