What does River Fougère smell like?

Bergamot and lavender give it a fresh, herbal start, while geranium and clove add a slightly floral and spicy touch. Patchouli, vetiver and gaiac wood build an earthy, woody base, and tonka bean softens it into something creamy.

Voters find both longevity and sillage strong. Autumn leads, with spring and winter close behind, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most voted occasions. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche pour Homme and Nishane B-612 have a close profile.
