Seventh Avenue Perfume Oil — the And Other Stories fragrance
Seventh Avenue Perfume Oil is a women’s perfume in an oil-based format by And Other Stories, released in 2017.
The fragrance is part of the Perfume Oil Collection and is aimed at those who appreciate an intimate scent that gently melds with the skin.
Founded in Stockholm in 2013 as part of the H&M Group, And Other Stories has long brought together Scandinavian aesthetics, fashion and accessible luxury perfumery.
Seventh Avenue Perfume Oil conveys this idea beautifully: the composition feels modern and polished while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.
The character and profile of the composition
Olfactively, this is a fruity-leather fragrance with a citrus opening, a warm amber-woody development and a distinctive musky base.
It combines fruity, leathery, ambery, citrus, woody, musky and spicy accents, so its character cannot be reduced to a single simple note.
The composition was created by Jérôme Epinette, a perfumer known for creating concise, instantly recognizable and yet multilayered formulas.
Here, his signature emerges in the balance of freshness, soft suede texture and a warm trail: the fragrance gradually deepens without losing its transparency.
The fragrance pyramid and development on the skin
The opening reveals bergamot and a citrus accord.
The start is sparkling, clean and slightly tart, like the cool air of a big city — it quickly draws attention without seeming harsh.
Blackcurrant appears at the heart, adding a juicy fruity tang, while the suede accord makes it smoother and more tactile.
This contrast is what gives Seventh Avenue Perfume Oil its individuality: the fruity freshness here feels elegant and slightly mysterious rather than frivolous.
The finish is built around amber, sandalwood, tonka bean and musk.
Warm woody-spicy shades gradually envelop the skin, while the soft suede facet remains in the trail, lending the base sensuality and comfort.
Longevity, sillage and wearability
According to the product card, Seventh Avenue Perfume Oil has a very strong sillage.
An oil texture usually develops close to the skin, but the composition’s richness makes it noticeable to those around you, so it is best applied gradually while taking the occasion into account.
No precise recommendations for the amount to apply to skin or clothing are provided.
Start with a small amount on warm areas of the skin — the wrists, neck or inner elbows — and assess the intensity after a few minutes; on fabric, the fragrance may last longer and smell denser.
The composition is especially suitable for cooler weather, evenings, dates or walks around the city, when the amber-sandalwood base unfolds most expressively.
With moderate application, it can also suit daytime wear if you want to add a soft leathery texture and a memorable accent to your look.
Who will enjoy Seventh Avenue Perfume Oil
This perfume will appeal to women who prefer more polished fruity-leather fragrances with a warm foundation rather than overtly sweet scents.
It may appeal to fans of suede, musk and sandalwood, as well as those looking for an expressive oil format with a noticeable presence.
For further exploration, you might consider Natura Kriska Freedom, Mahogany Bulgarian Rose and L'Bel Mon L'Bel.
