Crown Fougère Crown Perfumery 1880

It is not true that production has been halted at the moment. The fragrances from Crown Perfumery are available at thedifferentscent.de.

Crown Fougère packs a punch; it is not a lightweight but rather a very heavy, spicy green scent. The bronchial tea comparison made by Chemist is quite accurate. And similar to cough tea, one is not quite sure what is in it. Only that it must somehow be healthy.

The green notes clearly dominate, which are probably referred to here as "fern accord." Whatever that is. Perhaps a little anise-fennel is added. All of this on dry wood. Crown Fougère is truly old school; it creaks quite a bit! I have no idea who is supposed to wear this today. There is nothing here that counteracts the green creakiness. The scent is unambiguous in its statement and completely unbalanced. Fresh, pious, cheerful, free - I imagine an ideal wearer as a mustachioed gym teacher from 100 years ago, brisk in demeanor and always with a whistle at hand!

I think it would not have been a mistake to let this extreme scent rest in peace. Points are only given for its eccentricity.
