PINNACE NOIR | French Avenue

The Evening Anchor: A Masterpiece of Spicy Sophistication and Woody Power.

While the original Pinnace captures the breezy, mineral chill of the coast, Pinnace Noir by French Avenue takes the voyage into deep, nocturnal waters. This fragrance is a bold departure from the fresh-citrus genre, moving into the realm of the Woody Spicy Fougere. It is designed for the man who commands presence—balancing a crisp, professional opening with a heart of intense spices and a creamy, seductive dry-down.

Pinnace Noir is widely celebrated as a high-fidelity tribute to the discontinued legend Hugo Boss Bottled Intense (EDP). It captures that iconic "Apple Pie" warmth—spicy, woody, and sweet—but enhances it with the signature richness and longevity for which French Avenue is known.

Pinnace Noir is a sophisticated composition that transitions from a bright, fruity introduction to a dense, resinous foundation.

The Experience

• The Crisp Prelude (Top Notes): The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of Green Apple, Bergamot, and Lemon, softened by a touch of Orange Blossom. This creates a "sparkling" fruitiness that feels fresh and energetic.

• The Spicy Heart (Middle Notes): The soul of the scent reveals a warm, captivating blend of Cinnamon, Cloves, and Geranium, anchored by Brazilian Rosewood. This is where the "Apple Pie" vibe comes alive—spicy, comforting, and deeply refined.

• The Velvety Foundation (Base Notes): The journey settles into a luxurious, masculine finish of Vanilla, Sandalwood, and Cedarwood. The vanilla adds a creamy sweetness that smooths out the woods, creating a trail that is both powerful and inviting.
