Small review of Fougère Royale extrait de parfum
My sample contains 'extrait de parfum', however the strength is either the same as EdP or at most 25% stronger.
My sample is similar to the other reviews. The opening is herbal and smells nice. I don't smell any obvious lavender, any lavender probably blends in with the herbal notes. The heart is a blend of cinnamon, florals, and a spicy note. If there's any moss, then it's manifested by the top and heart notes having some darkness added to them.
By the time you enter the dry down there's no moss to speak of. In the dry down I smell the same notes as the heart but weaker, probably made a little sweeter by a pinch of tonka bean. No clary sage. I get about 5 hours longevity, which is disappointing. F. Royale smells bitter and 'distinguished'.
