Vulcan Sable

* Fabulous hybrid gourmand fragrance with soft touches of leather and smoke * Great blend of boozy, citrus, spicy, smoky, cocoa, vanilla, woody, powdery, leathery and musky aromas * Prominent notes of whisky, orange, cocoa, smoke, baking spices, vanilla, leather sandalwood and patchouli musk * Warm and inviting * Actually makes a leather note appealing instead of polarizing * Good for older and younger users * Great for intimate occasions and nighttime use * Strong performer * Might lean too masculine for some female users * Not good for those who dislike booze, leather, smoke and/or gourmand notes French Avenue's Vulcan Sable is an incredible hybrid fragrance that takes what separately are very polarizing notes to some noses -- smoke, leather, and whisky -- and makes them into a smooth cohesive whole. It's a good blend of boozy, citrus, spicy, smoky, cocoa, vanilla, woody, powdery, leathery and musky aromas. You'll find prominent notes of whisky, orange, cocoa, smoke, baking spices, leather vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli musk. This is warm and inviting, a very smooth textured fragrance. It's great for male users of all ages. Women may find this leaning too masculine with the smoke, leather and whisky as a wear, though they'll probably love it on a man. It's great for intimate occasions and nighttime use. Performance is strong. Another winner in the French Avenue Vulcan line. Highly recommended.

When I first got this I was not impressed. It was just not that good. It felt redundant, and like a let down. I mean it still basically smelled how it's supposed to smell, but it was less balanced, and more dusty or something. Fast forward a few months and I'm considering putting it in my trade in pile, and I sprayed it on my hand and fell in love with it. This is incredible now. I can't believe what a few months sitting can do to a fragrance. This is probably the most masculine sweet vanilla forward fragrance I can think of. I mean there are more masculine fragrances with vanilla, but they aren't as sweet(Bogart and Naxos DNA come to mind). This is woody, spicy, boozy, a little powdery, and amber warm with a sweet vanilla the whole time. I will buy this again. I see some of the younger reviewers who usually love sweet stuff not digging this one. Maybe they need to let it mature, or maybe they need to mature some I don't know. This bottle how it is now is pretty dang mass appealing and sexy.

Isso aqui deveria ser considerado um perfume de nicho de tão bom, de tanta qualidade, isso aqui é insano cara, pra mim o lcub de nuit é o melhor perfume arabe mais pro dia e esse aqui é o melhor arabe para a noite. Isso aqui é um liquid brun de macho, liquid brun é pra garotinhos perto desse perfume. Para mim ele abre com nota de Whiskey e casaca de lanranja (o cheiro do whiskey é bem forte parece q vc derramou whiskey) mas passando ali uns minutinhos ja começa a vir a nota de cacau (eu nao sei pq essa nota nao esta na piramide oufativa) e pra mim o perfume fica nisso de um cacau alcooclico, para mim tem cheiro de licor de chocolate, ainda preciso testar mais a fixação e projeção mas nao parece q projeta muito longe igual o club de nuit q exala demais td mundo sente... E eu não tenho o perfume do qual ele foi inspirado então nao sei dizer quanto a sua similaridade, mas eu amei demais, de perfumes noturnos esse aqui é o melhor da minha coleção inteira.

I've had this for about half a year now, and I've had a strange relationship with it. At first I thought it was great, then I started disliking it slightly, but now it's grown on me and I love it again. The scent is very warm, and definitely very boozy, they're not joking with that whiskey note, to the point that it can be a little overwhelming if you use too many sprays. As it dries down and ages I've experienced that it becomes chocolaty. It also lasts a long time. I bought this blindly, which, although I do love the scent, do not recommend, as it can be quite overwhelming, like I said. Also, considering how a lot of people say they get a piss smell (I personally don't), try it out on your skin first if you're able to before buying. One of my friends also said he thought it smelled amazing when he randomly took a sniff of the bottle that I forgot to put away that day, so take that how you will.

Vulcan Sable is a triumph 🖤 I’m enamoured with this DNA! I’ve had no trouble with the opening, it was smooth from the start and while the performance was a touch shy for the first fortnight, after six weeks of patience I’m now getting a dependable six hours on skin and a full+ day’s wear on clothes. I think it will only improve. I find it quite brilliant for spring and summer; the orange and anise (popping out in the drydown) are sweet yet remarkably crisp on my skin. Therefore, it’s a more versatile companion than its darker sibling, Spectre Wraith, which I save for the chilly months. That one is an absolute love too, yet way heavier on me. Vulcan Sable is an incredibly eloquent, comforting scent. It's my olfactory equivalent of being tucked away in a comfortable chair by a fire, with a good book and a glass of some good aged whiskey. 🖤
