FOUGERE FAMILY

"Fougère is the French word for fern, but has nothing to do this the smell of a fern - which by the way does not smell anything particular! This family is named because of ""Fougère Royale"", a fragrance launched in 1882 by Houbigant, which blended lavender, bergamot, geranium, vetiver, oakmoss, tonka bean and woods. This accord was so unique that is has inspired a lot of creations playing more or less with the same raw materials. Fougère family was born. Dylan Blue by Versace and Luna rossa carbon by Prada are good illustrations for contemporary Fougère."
