FougèreWhat does Fougère Nobile smell like?
Voters place it first in autumn and then spring, and lean towards daily, leisure and business wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, with some calling it classic.
It opens with lavender, basil absolute, black pepper and bergamot, fresh, green and spicy. The heart brings aldehydes, elemi resin, geranium and tobacco. The base of vetiver, patchouli, tonka bean, musk and sandalwood settles it into a woody, sweet, powdery finish. Dana Canoe and Rania J. Lavande 44 have a close profile.
