What does Avant smell like?
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these figures are tentative. It is positioned as a men's scent.
It opens with pineapple, blackcurrant, bergamot and apple, giving a fruity freshness. In the heart, birch, juniper berry, patchouli and jasmine add a green, smoky, earthy side. The base of musk, oakmoss, vanilla and ambergris softens the sweetness and leaves a woody footing. LPDO Cretus and Reyane Tradition Insurrection II Pure have a close profile.
