Eau de Parfum by Houbigant

‘Fougère Royale’ has its origins in 1882 when the first ever fougère scent was ingeniously composed by Houbigant’s owner Paul Parquet. The name of the eau itself derives from French for ‘fern’ which is the bow to the essential element that defines the brilliant formula.

When you hear ‘black tie’ you know what comes with it: a tuxedo coat - pants - and a white shirt. Likewise a fougère always has a whiff of lavender on top - geranium & rose for a beautiful heart - and indispensable oakmoss that anchors the fragrance. Style, elegance and raw masculinity in uncompromising perfection.

But behind the curtain of seeming straightforwardness lurks the Wild Man who inspired Monsieur Parquet to blend botanicals, florals and woods to mimic the scent of the god of the woodlands.

The modern take on the classic ‘Fougère Royale’ by Houbigant completely revamps the accompanying chorus, enriching it with soothing chamomile, zingy bergamot, and ritzy green accords in the atmospheric top. Lush ‘rose royale’, spicy cinnamon, and seductive lilac follow the passion of geranium in the floral heart. Herbaceous patchouli, smoky vanilla of the tonka bean and soft amber are intertwined with the noble woods of the sublime oakmoss. A worthy throne room for the Wild Man.

Each tiny crystal glass pane in the le sergé pattern has a diamond cut for a breathtaking opulent radiance of the fragrance vial.
