Fougere Royale (2010)

Fougere Royale opens with a cool green snap and lavender's herbal whisper, bergamot brightness cutting through chamomile's soft powder. The heart blooms into spiced warmth—carnation and cinnamon kindle something peppery and intimate, rose and lilac layering a floral depth that feels lived-in rather than decorative. As it settles, amber and tonka's vanilla sweetness anchor the base while oak moss brings an earthy, almost leathery dryness, patchouli and clary sage adding a mineral, herbaceous closure that refuses to soften into pure sweetness.
