Fougere Perfumes

Fougère perfumes are a classic fragrance category that is known for its fresh, green, and slightly woody scent. The name “fougère” comes from the French word for “fern,” and this is a reference to one of the key ingredients in fougère perfumes, coumarin, which has a scent that is reminiscent of new-mown hay.

Fougère perfumes typically feature a top note of citrus, followed by a heart note of lavender and coumarin, and a base note of oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli. These ingredients give fougère perfumes a clean, fresh, and slightly woody scent that is often considered to be masculine. Fougere perfumes are often used in men’s fragrances, but they can also be enjoyed by women who like aromatic and sensual scents.
