Angel`s Share meets Raspberry

I had been waiting a long time for Royal Blend Séquoia and was really looking forward to this fragrance. It is supposed to be an alternative to Angels' Share Paradis, which I have not yet been able to test myself. The fragrance description "Angel's Share with raspberry" sounded very appealing to me, however, as I really like raspberries in perfumes. For this reason, I spontaneously decided to make a blind purchase, which I have not regretted.

The fragrance starts with a super nice raspberry note. It doesn't smell like a fresh, slightly tart fruit, but is reminiscent of an intense, sweet raspberry syrup - very full-bodied and fruity.
At the same time, the typical Angel's Share DNA comes to the fore.
Cinnamon, praline and cognac, which have a very gourmand effect in this combination and are reminiscent of baked apple.
A sweet liqueur note is also clearly perceptible.
Despite the alcoholic nuances, I don't find the fragrance too boozy, which I actually like better than Angels' Share Eau de Parfum.
After a while, rose is added, but it is very subtle and remains in the background. Sandalwood is also recognizable and lends the fragrance a warm, woody, minimally spicy and velvety depth.

For me, the raspberry note is in the foreground throughout the fragrance and remains present until the drydown.
In the first hour, the ratio of raspberry to Angel's Share DNA is 60/40, after which it evens out to 50/50.

The longevity is very good. I perceive the fragrance for 8 to 10 hours. The price/performance ratio is also excellent. You get a lot of fragrance for your money here, which stays with you for a long time and has a strong sillage.

Royal Blend Séquoia is a unisex fragrance which, despite its sweetness and fruitiness, is not too feminine and can also be worn very well by men who like sweet fragrances.

To summarize, I really liked the fragrance. This fruity-sweet gourmand is the perfect choice for anyone who likes the DNA of Angel's Share but is looking for a fruity twist with raspberry.

French Avenue has created another really great fragrance with Royal Blend Séquoia. After Royal Blend Vintage and Royal Blend Bourbon, I am delighted to now have the third fragrance in the Royal Blend series in my collection.

My experience with Royal Blend Séquoia

The fragrance starts sweet and fruity, directly with this raspberry that remains noticeable from the beginning to the end and a feeling of an alcoholic drink. It has something warm, almost dessert-like, but still classy.
After a few minutes, you can smell the rose very nicely.
The base remains woody and creamy, the oak and sandalwood add depth, and the praline provides this sweet, slightly chocolaty warmth, which I really love.
For me, it's a cozy, sophisticated fragrance for the evening, perfect in autumn and winter. Sweet, warm, elegant but not over the top. Longevity is strong, easily lasts 10 hours and the sillage is above average.

Raspberry heart, cognac soul - Royal Blend Séquoia

It's almost scary.

French Avenue manages to bring a new fragrance within their own range that is both familiar and surprising at the same time.

Because yes - you can tell the family.
Anyone who knows Royal Blend will immediately recognize this one: that fine sandalwood, that subtle warmth, that subliminal gourmand DNA.
But then it comes, the twist to raspberry - and suddenly you no longer just think of cognac, but of cinnamon buns with raspberry glaze.
Angels'Share with a smile.
Or great fragrance art - at a low price.

The prelude?
Spicy, fruity, charming.
A hint of cognac, a fresh liqueur mist - and then:
Raspberry. Juicy, sweet, not candy-like, but round and warm.

And the way it all lands on the silky-smooth foundation of praline, oak and sandalwood is really successful The rose remains subtle, almost just a hint - like a shadow on velvety fabric.
The sweetness is there, but never overdone.
A dessert that smiles - but is never overpowering.

I was really "shocked" for a moment at how good this fragrance is.
Not just because it smells high quality - but because it goes one step further within this series.
A little playful, a little more sensual, a little calmer.

A high-level in the dupe segment.
And for the price?
There's not much to say - except:
"Merci, French Avenue."

For me, 9.5 out of 10.
With a sneaking suspicion that he may yet go one better.

Raspberry syrup + Angels' Share (Angels' Share Paradis Dupe)

I've been looking for a sweet raspberry fragrance for a while, and with the Royal Blend Séquoia I've finally found it.
Although the entire Royal Blend range is mostly good, I actually like this fragrance the best.

Immediately after spraying it on, a delicious raspberry note unfolds that smells wonderfully sweet like raspberry syrup.
At the same time, the Angels' Share DNA is clearly perceptible.
Although the opening may sound quite boozy due to notes such as liqueur and cognac, I don't find the opening or the fragrance itself to be very alcoholic.
It is similar to Angels' Share, but in my opinion much fruitier and less boozy than the original.

In the drydown, I perceive the Angels' Share DNA even more intensely, accompanied by a rose that never really becomes prominent.
The raspberry, on the other hand, is clearly the star here.
I also detect cognac, and I think cognac and praline are the notes that remind me of Angels' Share.

In the end, what remains is a mixture of 50% raspberry and 50% Angels' Share.
In the air, however, the raspberry predominates, which I find nice.

At 8.5 to 9 hours, the longevity is above average.
The radiance is also above average.
As the fragrance has not yet had time to mature, I can imagine that it will become even more intense in a few months.

The fragrance is unisex, but tends very slightly towards feminine (W55%/45%M)

Conclusion: If you've had enough of Angels' Share DNA, you might still like Séquoia.
It's fruity, super sweet and, in my opinion, takes this DNA to a whole new level.
I think it's great and will be getting a backup sooner or later.
