This is the universal fragrance family, with sexy cool-warm notes of citrus and lavender, sweet spices and oriental woods.It takes its name from a fragrance long since discontinued: Fougère Royale, introduced by Houbigant in 1882. Men grew up on Fougères. Most of the key men’s fragrances developed since the mid-1960s have come from this family; their zesty, masculine character makes men feel comfortable. Most women, too, find the blend of Fresh, Floral, Oriental and Woody notes appealing. It is a winning combination. - Michael Edwards Fragrance Wheel
