Discover Fougère Fragrances
Fougère is one of perfumery's classic fragrance families, traditionally combining fresh aromatic notes with lavender, woods and mossy accords. At CRA-YON, we give this structure a modern twist with bright citrus, green notes and an earthy woody base.
Discover what defines a fougère perfume and explore CRA-YON's modern interpretation of this timeless fragrance style.
A fougère perfume is traditionally built around fresh aromatic notes, lavender and a woody or mossy base. The fragrance family is known for its contrast between freshness and earthy depth, often combining citrus, herbs, woods, vetiver and moss.
Fougère fragrances typically smell fresh, green, aromatic and woody. Lavender is often a defining note, while citrus brings brightness and woods, vetiver or moss create a deeper, earthier base. Modern fougères can range from crisp and clean to warm and complex.
Not at all. Although fougère fragrances have traditionally been associated with men's perfumery, the fragrance structure itself has no gender. Its combination of citrus, herbs, lavender and woods can be worn by anyone. CRA-YON perfumes are created to be unisex.
The Fougère Affair takes the classic fougère structure in a fresher, more contemporary direction. Lemon, bergamot, mandarin and grapefruit bring brightness, while lavender and green notes lead into an earthy base of cedarwood, vetiver, musk and moss. The result is fresh, aromatic and grounded rather than traditionally masculine.
