The Fougere Family is a blend of fresh, green, and herbaceous notes, often centered around lavender, oakmoss, and coumarin. The name “fougere” means “fern-like” in French, and this fragrance family is inspired by the natural freshness of ferns and forests. These fragrances often carry a blend of freshness, warmth, and a subtle earthy character.
The traditional structure of a fougere fragrance starts with a bright, fresh top note of lavender, followed by the earthy, mossy undertones of oakmoss and the sweet, hay-like scent of coumarin. Herbal elements like rosemary, thyme, and sage often add complexity and an aromatic twist.
Classic Fougere fragrances have a slightly barbershop-like quality, blending freshness with a refined elegance. Aromatic Fougere takes these elements further, adding strong herbal accents to create a more complex profile. Fresh Fougere scents often feature lighter, more aquatic or green notes, perfect for daytime or casual wear.
Fougere fragrances are often associated with masculine scents, though they can be worn by anyone seeking a fresh yet sophisticated fragrance. They are particularly suited for those who appreciate a balance of freshness and depth.
