What does Fougère d'Argent smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with summer the least chosen. Daytime, business and evening wear are voted in nearly equal measure, and most voters read it as masculine, with many of the rest calling it classic.

Mandarin orange and ginger give it a bright, slightly sharp start, while lavender carries the fougère character. Cistus and coumarin build a soft, faintly sweet base, and Akigalawood® adds a woody depth. The overall impression is clean, restrained and classic.
