Fougere

Created by Jean Martel for Paco Rabanne, this composition opens on lavender, bergamot, and rosemary, moves through a heart of geranium, carnation, and jasmine, and closes on oakmoss, tonka bean, musk, and sandalwood. Its lavender-oakmoss-tonka fougere structure became one of the most commercially successful and widely imitated masculine fragrances of the 1970s.
