About

Fougere Royale opens with a bright, herbaceous burst of lavender and green notes, softened by chamomile and a hint of bergamot's zest. The heart blooms with a refined bouquet of rose, lilac, geranium, and carnation, spiced gently with cinnamon. It settles into a warm, mossy embrace of oakmoss and clary sage, underpinned by sweet amber and tonka bean, delivering a clean, classic barbershop feel.
