Fougère fragrance

Structure & fragrance profile: This is what a Fougère perfume smells like

A typical Fougère perfume consists of several precisely balanced components :

• Top note : citrus-fresh with bergamot , lemon , sometimes citrus oil
• Heart note : aromatic-green with lavender , geranium , herbs
• Base note : warm and dry – with tonka bean , vetiver , oakmoss , musk

This classic composition creates a fragrance profile that exudes freshness, structure, and a certain elegance—without being overbearing. It evokes clean lines, well-groomed clothing, and confident appearances. The term " fougère " today stands for fragrance concepts that embody precisely this.

Fougère scents: Away from the mainstream

A fougère fragrance isn't mainstream—it appeals to people who prefer clean notes , classic structure , and a sophisticated presence. Often marketed as a men's fragrance , this style is increasingly being interpreted in a unisex way .

Fougère is particularly suitable for:

• Men's perfumes pour homme with masculine freshness
• Business situations & well-groomed everyday life
• Fragrance lovers with a sense of tradition and clarity
• People who consciously distance themselves from “sweet” or loud

A well-crafted fougère fragrance concept offers refinement and tranquility – a fragrance that is alive but not loud.
