What does Fougères Marines smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, office and leisure are the occasions named most often. Voters mostly find it masculine and classic in character.

As a whole it reads fresh and aquatic, with a light citrus lift. Lavender and geranium set the fougère frame, while oakmoss and patchouli add a woody, green depth. Musk softens everything and brings a faint sweetness. Bvlgari Le Gemme Malakeos and Dana Canoe have a close profile.
