Description

Coconut Leche by French Avenue (2025) opens on a striking note of toasted coconut, instantly delivering a powdery, dry-shell aroma—not creamy or sunscreen-like, but unexpectedly edgy and warm. Mid-development, tuberose flowers add a creamy-floral lift that tempers the dryness, bringing elegance to the mix. Finally, a soft base of vanilla and benzoin provides a cozy, resinous foundation—gourmand, but not sweet‑syrupy (French Avenue).
