Thé Brun Jean-Charles Brosseau 2005

Thé Brun was an addition in a trade and all in all, it’s not a bad choice.

'Bertel' has already described the scent very well, so I don’t want to add much.

I only perceive the fruity freshness of the top note on the edges, as the tea and fern note come through right away.
After that, the lavender becomes noticeable in the scent profile, and fortunately, it’s not as squeaky as in Tauer's garden or in Trinity2 (or Knize Sec and Two).

Thé Brun is certainly dominated by the fern and alongside it, the tea note. At times, the scent also reminds me of tobacco. The fern note, typical for classic fougere, actually bears a lot of resemblance to Jacques Zolty, but here it is distinctly aromatic, finely spiced, and thus lacks that moldy undertone.
Therefore, Thé Brun is much more pleasant than the very classically styled fougere.

Towards the end, Thé Brun becomes soft, and I can perceive musk and also amber alongside the fern. The association with tobacco becomes clear again.

Longevity is okay, projection could be a bit better.

Overall, it’s quite an unusual scent, as you rarely encounter more classic fougere. I like it quite well, but it’s far from being among my candidates for purchase.

For fougere fans and those interested, it’s a worthwhile object. Plus, it’s not even that expensive.
Thanks to DufTiger for this interesting addition.
