Fougère.
A fragrance born from the forest—verdant, aromatic, and timeless.
Named after the French word for “fern,” the fougère is a cornerstone of classic perfumery—an elegant structure built on sparkling citrus, cooling herbs, and earthy oakmoss, all tied together by coumarin: a groundbreaking 19th-century aroma compound that evokes dried hay, tonka bean, and sweet tobacco.
Inspired by the original Fougère Royale of 1882, this fragrance is a return to the roots of the genre—before it was diluted by time and trend. While most modern fougères rely heavily on synthetics, often sacrificing depth for convenience, 1882 is composed with a generous hand of natural absolutes and high-quality raw materials. Lavender absolute, geranium, rose, oakmoss, tobacco blossom—each note breathes with life, complexity, and soul.
This is not just a scent. It is a revival. A love letter to tradition and a challenge to convention.
Where others imitate the forest, 1882 lives in it.

While I can smell the tremendous variety and complexity in this blend - it is just too anachronistically floral of a smell for me. I believe it should have been in a smaller bottle, because I don't see it being sprayed much - it is better suited as a novelty item.
Hindsight is 20/20. I lost patience waiting for the 50ml of Oud Fougere (Which I adore) and bought this as a replacement. Very big mistake. While I have no doubt this is a faithful reproduction of a classic, it is too harsh for me. I wish wish wish I could exchange it for Fougere Oud. Please don't make my mistake.
