Oriental Fougere

Fougère (pronounced fooh-ZEHR) is French for fern. Ferns don’t really have a distinct smell of their own, but they evoke green woods and a sense of calm, so this fragrance family is reflected in products of male grooming. 

Fougères typically include lavender, the traditional plant which evokes cleanliness, as well as coumarin, an almond like material that smells of freshly cut hay.

Some Fougère fragrances have a deep oriental base of resins, balsams, amber or vanilla, thus, we have included these in this category.
