Aromatic freshness with a creamy iris heart
Thunder by French Avenue is a woody-aromatic perfume for men that opens on elemi, pink pepper, lavender and bergamot, turns creamy with iris, vanilla, geranium and milk, and ends on cedarwood, tonka bean and vetiver. It is listed as strong. The iris-and-milk heart is the unusual part, and the part worth testing.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
A resinous, herbal start
Elemi adds a fresh, resinous depth to the spicy opening, with pink pepper, lavender and bergamot around it. The first minutes are aromatic and bright. Treat them as a doorway, because the interesting change happens just after.
-
Iris, vanilla and milk
The heart is where Thunder departs from most aromatic perfumes: iris and milk give it a powdery, velvety softness, with vanilla and geranium alongside. Decide on your own skin whether this creamy turn pleases you or blunts the freshness you came for.
-
Cedarwood and vetiver
Cedarwood, tonka bean and vetiver bring a solid, warm finish. Tonka echoes the vanilla in the heart, and vetiver adds an earthy backbone. Look at how the freshness of the opening is remembered in the dry-down, or whether it disappears entirely.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Wear it on a cool day, in autumn or winter weather as listed, and let it run through a working day and an evening out. Note the moment the creaminess arrives. If it comes too early or too heavily for your liking, that is useful information before you buy a large bottle.
Who it is for
Men who enjoy aromatic, woody scents but would like something softer in the middle than the usual lavender-and-cedar mix. It is listed for daily wear, evenings and work. If you often find fresh fragrances too thin, the milk-and-iris heart may be exactly what you were missing.
Why try French Avenue Thunder as a sample first
Milk and iris in a lavender perfume sound odd on paper and are nearly impossible to judge from a description. The Thunder vial comes from the original bottle, filled by FragranceGems and labelled by us; French Avenue neither issued nor approved it, so this is not an official brand sample.

Frequently asked
Is Thunder fresh or creamy?
Both, in sequence. The opening is aromatic and fresh with lavender and bergamot, and the heart turns creamy with iris, vanilla and milk. The balance shifts with skin and weather.
Which notes are recorded for Thunder?
Elemi, pink pepper, lavender and bergamot on top, iris, vanilla, geranium and milk in the heart, and cedarwood, tonka bean and vetiver in the base.
Is it only for men?
The listing says men. Notes like iris, vanilla and lavender are not tied to one gender, so wear the decant and judge for yourself.

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.
