Wood and Fougère

Wood & chypre 5 scent box

Ancient Forest, Druidale, Green Man, Manannan, Sky Hill.

Woody

Woody perfume tend to exudes warmth and depth, with subtle smoky, earthy, or resinous nuances. Notes of sandalwood, cedar, or vetiver and patchouli tend to dominate. Ancient Forest - Intense, berries and woods; Sky Hill - lemon, lime, cedar and cypress.

Fougère 

Fougère, from the French for "fern" are perfumes originally named after a pioneering fragrance, Fougère Royale (1882), a scent of a lush forest (ferns themselves don’t have a strong scent).

A typical fougère blends citrus top notes with a rich heart of floral or herbal accents, anchored by labdanum, oud or coumarin base, for a sophisticated, slightly dry and mossy aroma. Druidale - gorse, lavender and heather; Green Man - basil, mint and geranium; Manannan - lavender, coumarin and cedar-wood.

Fougère traditionally contained the wonderful scent of oakmoss or tree moss. Sadly this has now been banned by EEC and IFRA, so we use a brace of other oils to replace it.

The Scent Pyramid
Scent pyramid
This is a diagram of the notes in a perfume, typically used to help guide anyone unfamiliar with a perfume. In fact, most perfumes contain far more notes than are listed and not all rise and fall as the pyramid suggests - perfumes are far cleverer! Some top notes can last for a few hours and some bottom notes are detectable almost immediately. But the pyramid works well as a guide to what you might expect to smell.

Wrapped and ready to give as a gift.
