FougèreWhat does French Gallantry smell like?
It opens with tomato, Kenyan black tea and basil, which give a cool, leafy impression. In the heart, thyme, laurel, sage and oregano turn it herbal and spicy. The base of heliotrope, leather, animalic notes and amberwood leans woody and leathery, with sweetness kept well in the background.
With this character it suits those who want a fresh but rough-textured scent that sits between a herb garden and worn leather.
