Les Indémodables | Fougère Émeraude | Eau de Parfum
Created by perfumer Florence Fouillet Dubois, Fougère Émeraude is a "21st-century fern" that subverts the traditionally masculine fougère structure with the sophisticated touch of Haute Couture. Inspired by the precision of a bespoke tailor, it replaces the standard geranium heart with a rare, high-dosage Indian Tuberose (15%). This fragrance is a masterclass in duality, bridging the gap between the herbal, rooted world of barbershop classics and the ethereal, creamy world of white florals. It is an "olfactory enigma" designed for those who appreciate technical brilliance and rare raw materials.
Olfactory Pyramid:
-
Top Notes: French Lavender Grand Cru (3%), Alpine Clary Sage
-
Heart Notes: Indian Tuberose (15%), Moroccan Mimosa Absolute Grand Cru (1%)
-
Base Notes: Venezuelan Tonka Absolute (3%), Subtle Hay & Woody Nuances
Vibe: "The Sophisticated Enigma", half-herbal, half-floral, avant-garde, and impeccably tailored.
Performance: As an Eau de Parfum with a remarkably high concentration of natural extracts, Fougère Émeraude offers a refined and persistent performance. It delivers 8–10 hours of longevity with a sillage that is sophisticated and professional. While it opens with a sharp, medicinal lavender and sage energy, it maintains its structural integrity as it transitions into a buttery, green tuberose. The Tonka Absolute base provides a persistent, "dusty-powdery" dry down that clings elegantly to natural fabrics like wool and silk.
