Fragrances Similar to FRENCH AVENUE ARSH
Same accord family · 12 picks ranked by shared notes
Quick Answer
The strongest note-overlap match is Guerlain L’Homme Idéal Platine Privé, sharing 5 core notes. Note overlap is not the same as identical smell, but if you love Arsh's structure, these are its closest neighbors in our catalog.
Shared notes ≠ identical smell. We rank by overlap in accords and notes, but two fragrances can share most ingredients and still smell distinct (concentration, ratios, and the perfumer's hand all matter). Picks with a Verified Clone badge are mapped by our community as true smell-alikes; the rest sit in the same olfactory family.
If you love French Avenue Arsh, these 12 fragrances share the most of its note structure. None of the picks below are designated clones. They share notes and accord structure with Arsh, but two fragrances can share notes and still smell distinct. Treat this as "same family", not "same smell".

How we rank, and why this isn't a dupe list
We rank by a weighted overlap of dominant accords (50% of the score), shared notes across all pyramid positions (30%), and shared base notes specifically (20%). Base notes carry weight because they drive what you smell hours into the wear.
But shared ingredients don't guarantee identical smell. Two fragrances can list the same notes and still smell completely different. The perfumer's ratios, the materials they sourced, and the supporting molecules all change the result. That's why we split this page into two sections.
Verified Clones are fragrances our community has explicitly mapped to Arsh in our Clone Lab. These are the only picks on this page we'd call true smell-alikes. The Same Family picks share its note structure but should be treated as "if you like Arsh, you may like..." rather than direct dupes.
