Inspired by Penhaligon's Halfeti Cedar, Inej Parfum by French Avenue is an oriental amber fragrance for men. From the very first spritz, this fragrance unveils a radiant warmth that dances effortlessly. The top notes introduce an opulent pour of golden rum, rich and intoxicating with its sweet boozy charm, gracefully laced with the spicy exoticism of cardamom and the golden glow of saffron. Nestled beside this fiery warmth is the luscious nectar of ripe peach, juicy and velvety, adding a mellow fruity tenderness that softens the spice with a delicate sweetness.
As the heart unfolds, a mysterious complexity emerges, evoking the feeling of wandering through an ancient forest kissed by the sun. Virginia cedar lends its dry woody strength while dried fruits infuse the composition with a chewy, resinous depth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Mineral notes add an earthy, almost oceanic crispness that contrasts beautifully with the syrupy golden hue of immortelle. Cinnamon swirls through it all like a gentle flame, not overpowering but elegantly stitched into every layer, wrapping the heart in warmth and spice.
The dry down is a gentle descent into something luxuriously deep and endlessly soothing. Vanilla unveils itself slowly, creamy and embracing like a soft cashmere wrap, as Atlas cedar returns with a more grounded, velvety profile. Labdanum brings a leathery balsamic richness, mingling effortlessly with the nutty smoothness of tonka bean and the dark, earthy mystique of patchouli.
