The review

On paper, Francique 63.55 is a reasonable bet if you want Gris Charnel for less.

French Avenue sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gris Charnel's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

Strength9.0
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength French Avenue publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on black tea, fig and cardamom, turns to iris, and settles into Tonka Bean, sandalwood and vetiver. That is the brief Francique 63.55 is working from.

Top

  • black tea
  • fig
  • cardamom

Heart

  • iris

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • sandalwood
  • vetiver
For the one who lingers over spiced black tea and fig, an elegant, creamy woody-powdery scent balancing cardamom, iris and soft sandalwood.
