Fougere

An herbal, lavender-forward composition from Molinard, opening on bergamot and citrus before a heart of aromatic herbs and lavender, closing on musk, woods, and oakmoss. Its lavender-oakmoss structure gives it a drier, more masculine-leaning character than the house's typical florals, closer in spirit to a fougere-adjacent toilet water than a floral soliflore. Le Parisien situates it as an emblem of Parisian sophistication, a common geographic-identity naming device.
