CATEGORY · AROMATIC / FOUGERE

Aromatic or Fougère notes are characterized by their fresh, herbaceous, and often slightly sweet qualities, evoking the essence of lush greenery and aromatic herbs. This category typically includes scents like lavender, rosemary, and basil, often combined with earthy elements such as moss or oakmoss, creating a complex and invigorating profile. Fougère fragrances are particularly known for their signature blend, which often features a combination of lavender, coumarin (derived from tonka beans), and various green notes, resulting in a fragrance that is both sophisticated and refreshing. These scents are commonly found in men's fragrances, offering a timeless appeal that balances freshness with depth.
