Fougere fragrances
During Victorian era, the prehistoric plant became a symbol of the century and an object of desire. It was fashionable to collect and grow ferns in glass florariums, and the plant motif adorned dishes, textiles, and even advertising posters.
A little later, in the 1880s, when the fashion for living ferns began to gradually subside in England, it flared up in France - but in a different way. Fern (Fougère in french) gave its name to a family of fougere fragrances. And marked the birth of the modern perfume industry
The classic fougere is the fresh scent of lavender tinted with coumarin. Other important components are bergamot and citrus, geranium with its minty-metallic undertones, tart sage and patchouli.
