🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

You get Avenue 330 as an eau de parfum, 50 ml, at about 20% fragrance oil. It costs €25, the same price as every scent in the range, whatever original sits behind it. Free shipping applies from €49, and delivery takes 2 to 5 working days.

Santal 33 itself is sold as an eau de parfum, so Avenue 330 matches that concentration rather than the lighter eau de toilette some counters carry, or the thinner eau de cologne further down the shelf. Santal 33 sets the bar for longevity in this style, and Avenue 330 aims to match it hour for hour.

Longevity runs 6 to 10 hours, long lasting enough to still catch on your jacket the next morning. French fragrance oils, handmade, vegan, cruelty free, and never tested on animals. You get 15 days to exchange it if it does not suit you.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Avenue 330 is our perfume dupe of Santal 33 by Le Labo, built for anyone who already reaches for that dry sandalwood-and-leather signature and wants it without rationing every spray. Cardamom and violet open it, iris, cedar and ambroxan carry the heart, and it settles into sandalwood, leather, papyrus and amber.

The sandalwood accord is what people notice first, dry and a little smoky rather than sweet, with the leather giving it some backbone. It stays close to the same character from the first spray to the last, since this is one of those fragrances built to be linear rather than to unfold in stages. It smells like the original from a distance, and the trail is noticeable without being loud.

Avenue 330 works as a fragrance dupe of Santal 33 for people who want that dry sandalwood signature every season, not just through the cold months, and it holds up in summer heat as well as it does among winter fragrances and other dry scents. Santal 33 has earned a reputation among designer and niche perfumes as a linear fragrance, and Avenue 330 follows that same script rather than shifting into a separate set of middle notes.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

Avenue 330

Inspired by: Santal 33, Le Labo

Avenue 330 works in every season, though it earns its keep most in autumn and winter, when the dry sandalwood has some cold air to cut through. One spray is plenty for the office, and it holds up just as well into the evening without needing to be topped up.

Le Labo never marketed Santal 33 to one side, and neither do we: men wear it as their signature, women wear it as theirs, and most people just call it unisex and leave it at that. For him or for her, it works the same way either time, reading closer to masculine on some skin and more feminine on others, the same as it does for anyone who already owns Santal 33.

Choose our Inspiration

Le Labo is a niche house built on decanting each bottle by hand at the counter, and Santal 33 became the fragrance the label is now known for outside its own stores, the one every list of designer and niche dupes eventually mentions. It reads as closer to a luxury staple than a passing trend at this point.

Most people just say Santal, dropping the number and Le Labo both in reviews and in conversation, and it remains one of the more requested originals behind the wave of perfume dupes built to chase it. Santal 33 remains the name most people search first, and Avenue 330 rides in right behind it as the go-to alternative among sandalwood perfumes and dry woody scents on the market, one of the fragrances people reach for once they know both.

Why choose us?

Avenue 330 is our alternative to Santal 33 Le Labo, not a straight clone but our own blend, similar to the original's dry sandalwood-and-leather character without matching its bottle or label design. We mix it with fragrance oil and fill every bottle by hand in small batches, inspired by that same linear signature, at a price that keeps this kind of dry sandalwood fragrance affordable for daily wear.

We only make it as an eau de parfum, since that concentration is what keeps sandalwood, leather and amber holding through a full day. If it doesn't sit close enough to Santal 33 for your taste, you have 15 days to send it back and swap it for something else.
