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. 🖤

Just recently blind bought it due to its price and omg this perfume does not deserve its rating. This smells absolute amazing I like how the boozy, orange and orange chocolate at its end, they dance too well in my nose. To be fair this is a acquired scent since I feel there is something overwhelming in it. This is a 10/10. I own other killian ME inspired scent and this reminds me of toned down wraith spectre and the chocolaty ending of Royal Blend Bourbon. One of my best blind buy, I immediately added this into my ME rotation for this month (Island Dreams, Mandarin Sky, Honor and Glory, Ghost Spectre, and this).

This perfume has a very unique dry-down. It smells like a soft, powdery baby-like scent combined precisely with an oriental incense note—the kind of incense burned at funerals. I can also understand why some Westerners describe it as having a urine-like smell. It feels somewhat like animal urine but without the sharp, piercing edge. However, I personally find it extremely unique. I keep going back to smell it because it’s very intriguing and mysterious. I think it’s a fragrance that suits expressing individuality. It has a dual character, but the pleasant side is slightly stronger, which makes it appealing.

I smell the whiskey right away, then it turns to a spicy vanilla such a beauty! I can not say longevity yet because I just received it. It’s such an understated fragrance and can be worn by anyone very unisex. This is a cozy sweater fragrance and I will be wearing it this throughout the winter. As for the bottle it’s a heavy brown bottle with a snake wrapped around the collar. The brown color reminds me of the coziness of the scent. Highly recommended for the price especially these days with everything going up in price. You will love it!

It's my first review so here I go: This fragrance is just perfect for me, boozy, smoky, leathery, spicy, woody. It starts strong, kicks nostrils (which I love) after some time it smoothes out. Note i can smell the most is definitely whiskey, next is vanilla followed by citruses (mostly orange), Tonka beans, cashmere. Really masculine, mostly for nighttime but no one stops you from wearing it in the middle of the day. Strong performer, stays on my skin really good. I recommend it but maybe not for a blind buy.

I was intrigued by the first spray, did not enjoy the next 15 minutes when I got out in the frost outside, but when after another 10 minutes I got back inside I couldn’t have enough of this smell. Next 6 hours it was something very bold dark chocolaty, woody very warm. Perfect for winter! My roll neck still carries these notes after 24h. Only 30 EUR so it’s a bargain.

please spray this on and give it 10 min. i gave this a 2 just based off the opening but after driving and having the ac blow this magic into my nose, instantly gave it a 10. this smells like 80% milk chocolate, 10% dark bitter chocolate and 10% strawberry but man this is special occasion for sure because it is still dark but not bold dark

This is a somewhat dry, sweet boozy scent with oranges at the top. and the tonka in here with the other notes give the chocolaty vibe Its a great scent for the winter and this takes the middle ground between the joyful playful sweet unisex fragrances and the dark oriental, smoky heavy "old people" fragrances. Performance is great

I think this is a 10 out of 10. I can't say how accurate it is to the Sand dance because I have never smelt that, The best way to describe this is if you took Althair and made it a little more Dark 🌑, added Spice 🌶️ and liquor 🥃, while keeping the creamy orange smell of althair. It projects, lasts long, and has a lovely dry down

Smells like if you took Commodity Milk+, added some of the "weird burnt caramel" notes from Mercedes Man Private (but not too much, those notes become too much in the Mercedes fragrance), and added the teeniest, tiniest little hint of Ebony Fume. That combo sounds weird, and it is, but it's also kind of a banger.

Know this is a dupe of Sand Dance but if someone said to me that this is a CC - Blonde Amber dupe I wouldn’t argue. Yes it’s not 1:1 but it definitely similar. Just a more gourmand version imo Very surprised by this for sure. After maceration it becomes very smooth and well blended 🙌🏻. 8.91/10

Can't understand the negative review below. This is a 10/10 for me amazing scent. Better than Vulcan Feu. Sweet, woody, dark, boozy and warm. Very vanilla heavy, slight chocolate/cacao nuances, some darkness and depth, powdery..amber.. patchouli, I also get leather and sandalwood . Superb!

Smells like a sweet single malt whiskey. I also get a similar cashmere accord like in Amber Empire. I actually prefer this over Amber Empire because it’s smoother, even though they don’t really share the same DNA. oh and in the drydown it's really powdery.

I postponed buying this because of negative comments. What a mistake. This is a 10/10. Great profile and quality. I reckon kids who are mostly into fruity and common designer fragrances are rating this down. This is a niche dupe and a damn good one.

Wow this cologne is sexy! So smooth creamy, lol wife could not stop coming up to me and just enjoying the scent!! Compliment getter for sure. Believe this is better than Vulcan Feu which I love. Definitely a beast mode fragrance!!

It's deep and rich and extremely masculine. Although it's not a listed note, I get a slight hint of chocolate or cacao along with that boozy element. Would recommend for winter and autumn/fall and is amazing value for money.
