Fougère Fragrances: The Timeless Scent Revolution
What Is a Fougère Fragrance?
Fougère (pronounced foo-jair) is a classic fragrance family that redefined perfumery. Created in 1882, it imagines what a fern might smell like—even though ferns have no natural scent. This bold, aromatic blend combines lavender, coumarin, and oakmoss to create a timeless aroma.

Why Fougère Scents Are Special
- Unisex appeal – Originally for men, now loved by all.
- Versatile – Works for day or night wear.
- Nostalgic yet modern – Familiar yet always fresh.
The History of Fougère Fragrances
The Birth of Fougère Royale
In 1882, perfumer Paul Parquet created Fougère Royale, the first fougère fragrance. It introduced coumarin, a warm, sweet note from tonka beans.
Key notes in Fougère Royale:
– Bergamot – Citrusy brightness
– Lavender – Herbaceous freshness
– Oakmoss – Earthy depth
The Comeback of a Classic
Discontinued in the 1990s, Fougère Royale returned in 2010 with a modern twist. Today, it remains a benchmark for luxury scents.

What Makes a Fougère? The Key Notes Explained
1. Lavender – The Freshness
Lavender adds a crisp, clean touch—like a walk through a sunny field.
2. Coumarin – The Warmth
This sweet, vanilla-like note brings depth and comfort.
3. Oakmoss – The Earthy Base
Oakmoss grounds the scent with a rich, woody finish.
Pro Tip: A great fougère balances all three notes perfectly.
How Fougère Fragrances Evolved
From Masculine to Unisex
Early fougères were marketed to men, but scents like Jicky (1889) proved they work for everyone.
The 70s & 80s: Bold and Confident
This era brought powerful fougères with:
– Spicy touches – Like ginger and pepper.
– Woody depth – Such as sandalwood and vetiver.
Modern Fougères: Fresh Twists
Today’s versions mix tradition with innovation:
– Floral hints – Jasmine or rose.
– Citrus bursts – Mandarin or bergamot.
