Perfumery

A fragrance family of lavender, coumarin and moss

Fougère is a fragrance family built on an accord of lavender, coumarin, and oakmoss, often with bergamot and woody or aromatic notes, giving a clean, barbershop-style character that anchors much of men's perfumery. The name is French for fern, an imagined rather than real scent, and the type traces to Houbigant's 1882 Fougère Royale, which established the structure. Calkin and Jellinek's Perfumery: Practice and Principles and Sell's The Chemistry of Fragrances list fougère among the standard fragrance families. The referent is a structural fragrance category defined by the lavender-coumarin-oakmoss accord.[1][2]
