What does Eau de Cologne Fougère smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, while autumn and winter trail well behind. Daytime, leisure and business are the most voted occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a low profile. It is classed as masculine.

The notes read as one piece: oakmoss, tree moss and fougère notes build a green, earthy base, while lavender and coumarin pull it towards a fresh, powdery side. Spicy and woody accords stay in the background. Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche pour Homme (2011) and Mary Kay Domain have a close profile.
