Fougere (pronounced "foo-zher") is a classic family of fragrances in perfumery, known for its distinct, fresh, and aromatic scent profile. The term "fougere" comes from French and means "fern," and these fragrances are designed to evoke the smell of the forest, particularly the aromatic freshness of ferns, usually combined with other fresh, herbal, and woody notes.

Fougere perfumes are a very versatile and timeless category, often used in men's and women's fragrances, although they are more popular in men's perfumes. They offer a balance of freshness, herbal complexity, and woody depth, making them ideal for daytime use or for spring/summer perfumes.
