FougèreWhat does Bracken Man smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters suggest spring and fall, and it is worn for everything from daily use and the office to evenings out. It reads masculine and classic. It has been discontinued.
It opens with bergamot and lemon freshness folded into lavender and cypress greens, while nutmeg and clove add a spicy edge. In the heart, sandalwood, cedarwood, cinnamon and geranium come forward, and musk and patchouli give the base an earthy depth. The overall shape is fougère.
