This is absolutely stunning!

If you're into French perfumery, this is for you. If you enjoy fragrances like Sultan Vetiver (esp in the dry down), this also is for you. If you like long lasting, discreet fragrances, with a distinct, manly and classy appeal: THIS is for you, my friend.

To use tuberose in this way is just genius. Due to Tubéreuse criminelle and now this, I am currently on a tuberose kick and will definitely be buying both: Odor 93 (Meo Fusciuni) and the recently announced, Tubéreuse Astrale (Maison Crivelli).

Just when I felt I was content with what I own, in comes something creative and new (to my nose) and just reinvigorates my passion.

In any event, I will be selling a good chunk of my fragrances (outside of my custom shelves on Fragrantica which I need to create on Parfumo, being I like this site better). If I can get rid of about 100, I will be acquiring everything from my "wish" list and, from that point forward, focus only on rare notes that are done well.

I just have to stop being lazy and post them on somebody's site.

Until next time...
UPDATE: This thing thrives in balmy, wet, weather

Misleading the authorities

Overall, I am quite taken with Fougère Emeraude. However, I don't find it that "fougerey": the green is extremely subtle, and the tuberose - which, by the way, isn't fleshy at all but rather slightly waxy - is much less dominant than the powdery-sweet lavender-mimosa-tonka combination. In this respect, the fragrance is completely different from what I had expected. The slight soapiness still reminds me most of a classic Fougère.

But is the fragrance beautiful! Balanced, elegant, flattering and optimistic. The structure is not very dense, the fragrance is not lush, you can wear it anytime. Only unfortunately, it lacks a bit of inner tension and liveliness. I miss the bitter mint of oakmoss or more earthy, leathery notes that would make the fragrance more classic and less adapted-modern. It's already quite uneventful, if undeniably luxurious (and outrageously expensive).

The name also raises false expectations; emerald green is nothing here. The said powdery-white-floral accord has so nothing at all of fern or leaves. After all, you can learn from Wikipedia that the so-called "dash" (so the mineral powder) of emerald is white

Herbaceous tuberose

The name had put me off: Fougeres are not for me! But yes, this Fougere is. The wonderfully creamy tuberose is there from the start. It's kept well in check by the spicy and herbaceous notes that surround it. It comes into its own more and more as the fragrance develops. The herbaceous accents make room for the creamy tuberose without ever completely disappearing
