Fougère, 1990s: Paco Rabanne / others
Smell Fougère on paper before it touches skin. The year to write is 1990s, the line is “Paco Rabanne / others,” and the figure is 1882. Do not lay two scents on the same wrist and call it a comparison. A barbershop can still be a formula.
Concentration is oil in alcohol, not a quality score. EDT (about 5–15%) shows more top; EDP (about 15–20%) shows more heart and base. Houses vary; this is not a lab assay. One or two sprays on skin or cloth — sternum or hair, not a cloud in a lift. Let it turn an hour before you add more.
All year, barbershop day. Heat can turn lavender medicinal and moss loud. Yes. Warm, moist skin amplifies sweet and spice; dry or cool skin can turn the same juice woody, soapy or short. Test on your skin, not only a blotter. Oakmoss is IFRA-limited. Classic chypre and fougère bases were rewritten; modern “moss” is often a reconstruction. Ask a clinician about reactions — this is not medical advice.
Any ethics or materials I should know? Read the materials chapter for the actual load. Niche and designer often share a family and disagree on dose. No. This atlas is cultural and editorial. Fragrance can irritate; oakmoss, eugenol, citrus oils and musks are common triggers. See a clinician for reactions. Nothing here is a diagnosis, treatment or safety sheet.
Speak of Fougère as 1990s, “Paco Rabanne / others,” and 1882. A scent is an order, not a ranking.1990s
