Obsidian Extrait de Parfum by French Avenue Review: Notes, Profile & Where to Buy
Share
Obsidian Extrait de Parfum by French Avenue is one of MAPERFUME's best-selling fragrances, and once you see the note breakdown it's easy to understand why. Here's the full scent profile, the dupe conversation around it (if there is one), and where to buy it.
Obsidian Extrait de Parfum — Notes & Scent Profile
- Top Notes: Grapefruit, Bergamot, Aldehydes
- Middle Notes: Labdanum, Myrrh, Jasmine
- Base Notes: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Amber
An oriental woody, citrus-amber unisex fragrance — an aldehydic, bright citrus opening, a resinous, mystical heart of myrrh, labdanum and jasmine, and a warm, enveloping vanilla-amber-tonka dry-down. Built for cool weather and formal wear.
Note: there is a separate, unrelated product called “Rayhaan Obsidian” from a different brand with entirely different notes (and its own separate dupe claim, Dior Homme Parfum) — this review covers the French Avenue Obsidian Extrait specifically.
Is Obsidian Extrait de Parfum a Dupe?
Obsidian Extrait de Parfum is widely compared to Kilian Angels' Share (On the Rocks) — multiple independent reviewers and sellers point to it as a close, budget-friendly alternative. As always with dupes, it's not a molecule-for-molecule clone, but if you love the original's profile, this is worth trying.
Performance & Best For
As a 100ml Extrait de Parfum, this is built for real wear, not just a light spritz.
Best for: Formal occasions and cool-weather evenings when you want a resinous, amber-forward scent with real presence.
