Oriza L. Legrand Foin Fraichement Coupe is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1886. Foin Fraichement Coupe opens with Angelica, Star Anise, and Mint, settles into a heart of Clover, Hay, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Clean Musk and Ivy. Oriza L. Legrand's Foin Fraichement Coupe carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive scent. Some find it a quirky, vintage barbershop dream, others get pure baby wipes and old lady powder. If you're after something utterly unique and confidently old-school, give it a go, but don't blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and clean, albeit unusual, character make it suitable for casual wear or an office environment where you want to stand out subtly. It's generally too idiosyncratic for formal events and not energetic enough for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

An intriguing, almost whimsical fragrance that opens with a brisk, herbal shot of mint and star anise, brightened by angelica. This quickly melts into the dry, sun-warmed heart of clover and hay, with clary sage adding an earthy depth. The drydown settles into a clean, slightly powdery musk with a hint of green ivy, evoking a nostalgic, almost pastoral cleanliness. It's not a dewy green, but rather a sun-baked, dry herbal accord.
