What does Fougère Royale (2010) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It lasts well and projects at a moderate level. Most voters suggest spring, fall and summer, with winter chosen less often. Business, daily and leisure wear lead, while evening and night out sit further back. Voters mostly call it masculine and classic.

The top opens with lavender, bergamot, Mediterranean herbs and Moroccan chamomile, citrusy and herbal. Geranium, May rose absolute, cinnamon and carnation add a floral, spicy middle. The base of tonka bean absolute, amber, oakmoss absolute and patchouli settles it onto a woody, slightly sweet ground.
