Vulcan Baie

Hello, this is my personal take on French Avenue – Vulcan Baie. Longevity is about 5–6 hours on skin in normal room temperature or air-conditioning. In reality, you get around 4 hours of noticeable projection; after that, the scent lingers softly on the skin in a faint, intermittent way. Scent profile: The opening feels like a glass of sparkling lemon soda — bright and fizzy. It gradually shifts into a lightly sweet tone with a hint of mixed berries, but not strawberry as many people claim. It finally settles into a softly clean, airy finish on the skin. However, spraying too many bursts at once can make it feel slightly sharp, almost like a hair mist, so it’s best to use 1–2 sprays per spot. The projection isn’t too strong since it’s a fresh scent, but in exchange, it’s unique — about 80% of people will like it right from the first spray. Recommended spray points: neck, collarbone, inner elbows, and on clothing (where it lasts longer, around 6–7 hours). Avoid spraying on the wrists — in my experience, friction from clothes or objects makes it fade too quickly, not to mention frequent handwashing which wastes the fragrance even faster. It works perfectly for both men and women — a balanced 50/50, without leaning strongly to either side. If you enjoy fresh, lightly sweet scents that dry down to a clean and gentle finish, Vulcan Baie is absolutely the right choice. Note: Love it for what it is — not because you think it’s a copy of Pink Boa. Both fragrances have their own charm; they simply share certain scent characteristics, nothing more.

I love this perfume. This one is the best out of the Vulcan series. I have never smelled anything similar, this is a very unique bubbly scent. It does open up with a lot of vodka. It's nice, I like it because it feels bold, alluring. It also hits with a blast of red forest fruits. I get raspberry the most, it's sweet and fresh. At first it seemed too sweet but after a few months it's still on the sweeter side but very likable. I think the strawberry adds to the sweetness and blackberry and blackcurrant add a bit of acidic feeling to it. It's mixed with a fresh herbal note which makes it so interesting and that's rosemary. At the drydown vodka is way less prominent and you're left with fruity sweetness with rosemary herbs on the background of musk pachuli and sandawood. I don't get much incense or amber. To me it's a perfect fruity summer fragrance. I prefer it for the night as I said it's quite bold and playful. It's also mouthwatering for some reason. I own a lot of gourmand fragrances yet it's only this one that makes my mouth water. The longevity and sillage is great as with all French Avenue fragrances. 9/10

As others have said about this fragrance it definitely smells opens pink lemonade with a splash of vodka.. (I have not tried the OG) but there is more complexity here. I smell the black currant as well as a perfumey Earthy vibe which must be the patchouli in the base.. it's almost slightly soapy too which makes it lean away from being gourmand or simplistic when it starts to dry .. the pink lemonade smell lingers throughout but definitely gets more perfumey and stays a bit boozy. It's a really well done fragrance imo with the journey it takes too on .. but it does smell more like perfume than a lot of modern gourmands. It's more grown up.

The fourth and final Vulcan in my collection. I dont get a vodka note unfortunately, I love vodka but the smell is still okay sense the smell I get is an absolute 10/10. This is the realistic version of pink lemonade. There is a nice lemon note and like a fruit I can't name. absoute banger I can see why people say its feminine leaning but im a dude and feel 100% confident in rocking this especially in the summer days. great 10/10 scent on me I love this stuff probably my fav of the whole Vulcan line up

Doing another review. Idk if maceration or maturation but as this sits longer and longer in my closet waiting for the summer ( -40 in fucking Canada rn smh) this scent leans away from fruity pink lemonade to a fruity vodka pink lemonade. I adore this the vodka note (or alcohol note ig) is pure 10/10 just absolutely amazing. Even the juice before was a 10/10 but now with the shaper alcohol kick this is amazing. It feminine leaning but I don’t care I’m rocking this all summer.
