Fougere Furieuse

Ok: listen up, team This. Is. Incredible. I’ve a ton of fougere fragrances (Bois du Portugal, Patrick of Ireland, Lalique Pour Homme, Beau du Jour, etc) and this is DIFFERENT. It’s a BEAST, and I never say that. It smells great, projects, lasts, and it a stand out. It’s a modern Barber Shop. Not a FOUGERE fougere, if you know what I mean, because it’s replaced the lavender with blossom and geranium, but that’s what makes it incredible. It’s not trying to be Fougere Royale, but one thing others aren’t mentioning is the evolution. How it smells the first 30/45 min is not how it smells in 2 hours. It starts off almost sweet, like too sweet for an Aromatic Fougere, but the dry down is a clean and soapy Vetiver. I would say this is more of a “vetiver” fragrance than a “fougere” fragrance, but it’s dependent on what a Barbershop Scent means to you. It’s not your 1950’s scent, but it is a “New Fougere” if you moved into a more modern era, like Chanel Boy or Roja Scandal, where it has similar DNA, but you have to be ready for change. Soapy Clean Green I think it’s a solid 7.5/10, but I asked 3 discerning females I know their thoughts and they wouldn’t STFU about how I should wear this every day. One was using words like “OMFG SLAY, GORGEOUS, INCREDIBLE, HOW MUCH WAS THIS?!” So it’s now 10/10 and if you buy it and hate it I’ll buy it off you. You’ll thank me. Possibly owe me.

This smells so amazing. Even candy citrus like. Your gonna think this is nuts but it really reminds me of the candy skittles. For that reason alone I love it. It's citrusy sweet but then it has this powdery pixy sticks kinda scent mixing with the citrus that really makes it smell like skittles in the best possible way. Fougere is generally in men's fragrances but this smells so delightful it really can be unisex because it's so refreshing. I love this second to Oriental Express and then afterwards Cuir Imperial. There are some similar notes with this fragrance and Cuir Imperial on the dry down. A gorgeous fragrance that also reminds me of some of the new scents from the Mugler Men's cologne collection. I think men will be highly likely to love this. But I am a woman and I adore this fragrance and It reminds me of the new Kenneth Cole Energy fragrance. Complete any time of the year especially spring to summer fragrance.

Fougere Furieuse is hardly furious but it is quite delightful! A very unisex fougere and is quite female friendly. I love a fougere scent but usually feel like I smell too "dapper" and can't get comfortable but this just smells fresh and clean to me. It has a soft edge and the oakmoss is very smooth, it isn't a harsh at all. It has a slightly green quality to it but the geranium, bergamot and neroli keeps it really fresh and unisex but ever so slightly floral while the amber adds a bit of sexiness to it. Even a slightly powdery quality. Not much but it softens it just a tad. I just find this extremely pleasant to wear and is sort of a mood lifter. But ladies don't let the "fougere" part make you think it is a gentleman's fragrance...it isn't, it is completely unisex.

What a perfect accident. I went on the Mugler site to purchase Over the Musk and accidentally bought this. Yes, I went back for the Musk, but this to me is better. I'm a woman that loves a good fougere and this is perfectly unisex. It's slightly spicy, herbal and I love that it's a little bracing/aromatic. I feel like it radiates a chill and/or coolness off the skin and I notice it more as I'm walking around. I may have to get a spare as this is a total love for me.

This is a unisex earthy, herbal, fresh spicy scent that sits close to the skin. It's classy and versatile and I always get compliments when I wear it. I wouldn't want this scent to perform like a beast. Avant-garde it is not, but if you are after a fragrance that is suitable any time in any place, this is it. You can't go wrong. Longevity is fine; what it lacks in sillage, it makes up for in elegance. 8.5/10
