Feu French Avenue 2025

I blind bought this after seeing all the hype and I'm disappointed. Nice summer mango smell, but lacks projection big time. I've worn it out 5 times now and never had a comment which is unusual as my friends are always complimenting me on my choice of fragrance. It stays faintly on my skin for about 7 hours and I can smell it on my clothes the next morning. I do not get a smell when I'm out unless I put my nose to my wrist where I've sprayed. if u want a nice fruity skin smell go for it but avoid it if you want to get noticed

On the opening, the first thing I notice is a citrusy, sour mango note. It might come off as a bit unpleasant to some, but I personally enjoy it. As it dries down, the fragrance becomes more "mature" and I can clearly pick up cedarwood, ambergris, and tonka bean.

The opening is quite harsh, which is why I recommend going very light on sprays VERY LIGHT. As it settles, it becomes much smoother and more enjoyable.

I can also pick up a vanilla-ish feeling which is probably the tonka bean but I like it, creamy dry down compared to the harsh opening

When i’d first bought it, it smelled extreme synthetic and overwhelming. I immediately washed it off my skin because it was too strong and was giving me a head ache. it was so harsh I cool feel a burn in my throat. I let it mature for a couple weeks (3weeks) and it wasn’t changed much. I don’t get the hype on this, maybe it was a bad batch. I have yet to smell GOF, but if this is a representation of the DNA then I hate it. I am still hopeful, maybe mango ice will be the saving grace.

I’ve recently sampled God Of Fire just last week and though it smelled amazing, never had a mango/tropical focus fragrance in my collection.

The problem was it was way too expensive for what it offered, especially the performance. Instead I found out Vulcan Feu because it was hyped up. For around $50 USD, you can get an 3.38oz instead of 1.7oz for $250+ for God Of Fire. Once arrived on my doorstep, I’ve been wearing it everyday.

The smelled is about 90% similar but it’s slightly more woody than the OG. The performance is surprisingly better! I get a good 8-9 hours with moderate-strong projection with 5 sprays on skin. I had people around me saying I smell like a juicy ripped mango within 4 hours.

In my opinion, everything about this fragrance is pretty much better than what god of fire offered, get it now if you can since the price is drastically going up because of demand.

I blind bought this looking for a refreshing, fruity summer scent. OOPS. The blind purchase was a poor decision, and frankly an addictive relapse (I do however also partly blame the fragrancesphere hype machine). I sprayed twice on my chest without thinking (I do this with my softer fragrances often) and it gave me a pounding headache and made me question a lot of decisions in my life. For me, this smells like an incredibly synthetic, sour, and cheap mango note that is insanely strong, stays a completely unwelcome amount of time, no development, no nuance, like somebody yelling at the top of their lungs on a crowded train. I am now pondering how best to dispose of this bottle. I wanted to leave it downstairs at my apartment building anonymously but I realized I don't want to smell this on anyone within 50 yards of me ever again.
