Ighwa by FRENCH AVENUE is a 100 ml unisex Chypre Leather Eau de Parfum that unfolds mandarin, coriander seeds and pink pepper in the opening, rose, cedarwood, patchouli and violet leaves in the heart and vanilla, leather, moss, Amber Xtreme and musk in the base in a composition of absolutely extraordinary complexity, sophistication and character: Ighwa is a highly classy unisex chypre-leather that fuses elegance and mystery with an absolutely unmistakable personality.
Ighwa begins with a highly original and sophisticated citrus-spicy opening: mandarin — citrusy, sweet-juicy and of an absolutely instant freshness — gives Ighwa its initial and highly attractive citrus luminosity, coriander seeds — green-spicy, slightly citrusy and of an absolutely unique and unmistakable herbal freshness that radically distinguishes them from fresh coriander, making this ingredient one of the most sophisticated and niche opening notes of the composition — give Ighwa that absolutely contemporary green-spicy-herbal character that is highly valued in niche haute perfumery, and pink pepper — floral-spicy and very different from conventional black pepper, with a delicate and highly distinctive spicy vivacity — completes the opening with a contemporary and sophisticated spicy touch. The heart of Ighwa is a floral-woody composition of great richness and complexity: rose — velvety, feminine and of an absolutely classic floral elegance — gives the heart its highly distinctive floral dimension, cedarwood adds a dry and elegant woody structure, patchouli — earthy, sensual and of an absolutely unique depth — anchors the heart with density and character, and violet leaves — green-herbal-powdery and absolutely different from conventional violet flower, a highly sophisticated niche ingredient that is rare in contemporary perfumery — give the heart of Ighwa that green-powdery-refined dimension that is the signature of the great chypres in the history of perfumery. The five-ingredient base closes Ighwa with absolutely extraordinary depth and persistence: vanilla provides a sweet creamy warmth that softens and envelops, leather — animalic, sensual and of an absolutely unmistakable dark masculinity — is the defining ingredient of the base of Ighwa and the one that gives the composition its absolutely distinctive chypre-leather character, moss — the powdery-damp-earthy note that is the backbone of the chypre family and one of the most valued and nostalgic ingredients of great classic perfumery — gives the base of Ighwa its inimitable chypre depth, Amber Xtreme — the synthetic amber formula of maximum concentration and persistence, capable of projecting and lasting for hours in an absolutely extraordinary way — guarantees the sovereign longevity and projection of Ighwa, and the silky and enveloping musk unites all the ingredients in an absolutely unique, deep and memorable trail.
