Royal Blend by French Avenue is a rich and warm unisex fragrance launched in 2023.

Often regarded as a budget‑friendly alternative to Killian’s Angels’ Share, capturing a similar boozy cinnamon and sweet vanilla spice profile, though it is not an official clone. 

Some wearers also note its vibe sits near classic warm gourmand orientals and boozy gourmand scents like those in the same family as Lattafa Khamrah, but with its own twist of plum and spice.

What it smells like

Royal Blend opens with a boozy, spiced mix of cognac, rich plum and warm cinnamon, giving a cozy and indulgent first impression. The heart brings powdery iris and resinous myrrh, adding texture and an elegant touch to the sweetness. In the dry down, creamier vanilla, tonka bean and smooth sandalwood create a warm, comforting trail that feels reminiscent of a spiced boozy dessert with woody amber warmth. 

Reviewers online highlight its warm and balanced gourmand nature, with many noting it performs nicely for cooler weather and evening occasions when a cozy spicy scent is desirable.
