Aromatix Naughty Dates by French Avenue 100ml Eau De Parfum
Naughty Dates is the fragrance that turned the Aromatix line into a talking point. Released in 2025 as part of the Aromatix x French Avenue collaboration and composed by perfumer Shinichiro Oba, it builds a full dessert around syrupy dates, roasted coffee and caramelised nuts, then anchors the whole thing on warm woods and amber so it never tips into sugar. If you love rich, edible Middle Eastern style gourmands, this is one of the most satisfying bottles in its class.

It opens on cardamom, bergamot and mandarin, a spiced and citrus-lifted introduction that sets an inviting tone before the gourmand heart arrives.
Fragrance Profile
This is the pyramid French Avenue publishes, and it matches the listing on Fragrantica. A few third-party sellers circulate a completely different note list for this fragrance, built on tropical fruit and white florals. That list belongs to another composition entirely, so if you have seen it elsewhere, disregard it.
The heart is where Naughty Dates becomes irresistible, as roasted coffee, syrupy dates and golden honey mingle with nutty hazelnut, warming cinnamon and a touch of ebony wood. As it settles, caramel, vanilla, amber and sandalwood take over, giving the drydown a warm coffee-and-caramel character that lingers for hours.
Inspired By
Naughty Dates is widely compared to Lush Sticky Dates based on community feedback, and the comparison is a useful one for UK buyers since Lush is a familiar high street reference point. Both are built around the same date and caramel idea, and reviewers who know the Lush original describe Naughty Dates as sitting in the same territory with more spice up top and stronger performance.
It is an interpretation rather than a copy. Perfumeo is not affiliated with or endorsed by Lush, and all brand names remain the property of their respective owners.
Give It Twenty Minutes
Worth knowing before you judge it. The first few minutes are the loudest and the most divisive part of Naughty Dates, because the cardamom and the raw date note hit together and can read sharp or boozy, almost like coffee liqueur. Plenty of people have sniffed it once on a card, decided against it, and then changed their minds completely an hour later.
What happens next is the point of the fragrance. The cardamom recedes, the date note melts into the coffee, and the caramel and vanilla rise up to round everything off. Spray it on skin, walk away, and come back after twenty minutes before you make up your mind. That drydown is what earns the compliments.
Who It Suits, and Who Should Skip It
Naughty Dates is unapologetically sweet, and that is the honest dividing line. If you already enjoy rich gourmands and warm spiced desserts, this delivers exactly that with better performance than most bottles in its bracket. If sweetness is not your thing, no amount of quality will win you over here, and there are fresher options in the same line.
The cardamom is prominent enough to shift how the fragrance reads. Some women find it makes the opening lean more masculine, and some men find it is exactly what stops the sweetness feeling girlish. It is a genuinely unisex scent, but that spice is the reason opinions differ. If you like the sound of the coffee and dates but want less spice up top, the fresher, fruitier Aromatix Frostbite or the brighter Aromatix Sun Kissed are easier daily wears.
Performance
This is one of the stronger performers in the Aromatix range. Expect eight hours or more on skin with generous projection, particularly in cooler weather, and noticeably longer on clothing. Two sprays are plenty. Apply to moisturised skin and let it settle without rubbing.
When to Wear Aromatix Naughty Dates
Suited to autumn and winter, Naughty Dates thrives in cooler weather where its coffee, dates and caramel can bloom. It leans towards evenings and cosy daytime wear thanks to its richness, though the drydown is soft enough to carry a summer evening if you go lightly. The date and coffee theme also makes it a natural choice around Ramadan and Eid, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves warm gourmands. If you enjoy this style, the coffee-forward Caffe Latte makes a natural companion, or explore our sweet and gourmand collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Aromatix Naughty Dates smell like?
Aromatic cardamom and citrus over roasted coffee, syrupy dates and honey, finishing on caramel, vanilla, amber and sandalwood. It reads as a rich, spiced coffee-and-date gourmand, sharp and boozy for the first few minutes and creamy from there on.
Is Aromatix Naughty Dates unisex?
Yes. Its warm blend of coffee, dates and caramel suits anyone who enjoys rich, cosy gourmand scents. The prominent cardamom gives the opening a spicier edge that some read as masculine, but the drydown is firmly unisex.
How long does it last?
As an Eau de Parfum with a rich amber-vanilla base, it is a strong performer, typically lasting eight hours or more with generous projection, especially in cooler weather, and longer still on fabric.
Is Naughty Dates too sweet?
It is a full gourmand and makes no apology for it. If you enjoy sweet, dessert-style fragrances, the woody amber base keeps it grown-up rather than sugary. If you dislike sweetness generally, this is not the bottle to convert you.
Who created Naughty Dates?
Perfumer Shinichiro Oba composed it for the Aromatix x French Avenue collaboration, released in 2025.
How can I get the most from it?
Given its strength, one or two sprays are plenty. Apply to moisturised skin for maximum longevity, allow twenty minutes for the opening to settle before judging it, and save it for cooler weather and evenings where its rich sweetness truly shines.
Is this bottle genuine?
Yes. Every bottle at Perfumeo is 100% authentic, factory sealed and sourced through authorised distributors.
