If the ambergris doesn't hit you over the head, the oud certainly will.
Although the Fougère genre marked the beginning of the
widespread use of synthetics in perfumery with the
ingredient coumarin, our Oud Fougère was crafted using
solely nature-derived ingredients.
And that includes our very own in-house natural coumarin extract.
Oud Fougère opens with a blast of oud and ambergris alongside sparking citrus and geranium, blending
into rich green foresty notes. Reminiscent of a foggy
morning, fern leaves heavy with dew, intoxicating absinthe and sharp lavender
provide crisp fresh overtones, further honed by the
greenest Indian galbanum and betel leaf extract. The vibrant top notes are
anchored by a seductive dark foresty base of oud, oakmoss,
and patchouli that lasts for hours on end.
If you've jumped the bandwagon and discovered Agar Aura's pure oud oils, you'll immediately realize why north Malaysian Aquilaria Malaccensis oud was the perfect choice for this fragrance. Natural, unwarped oud oil is not what most folks imagine it is. Those barnyard and fecal notes most associate with oud are the result of fermenting and rotting the wood prior to distillation – something Agar Aura never does.
With it's naturally jungle-green, sparkly fresh, and nutmeg-peppery flavors, Malaysian oud pairs perfectly with the absinthe to make the ultimate summer oud fragrance.
As for the ambergris, we utilized the stinkiest Irish black ambergris that would turn your tummy if you smelled it straight. But blended carefully into this fragrance, what you get is an amazing oceanic-breezy facet that pairs with our coumarin extract so well... you'd swear its impossible to achieve the behavior, performance, and 'texture' of Oud Fougère with all-natural ingredients.
By definition, no mainstream Fougère perfumes are
all-natural. So here is your chance to experience an utterly
classic fougère fragrance that goes against the grain.
Please note that since only ingredients derived from
natural sources were used, natural oakmoss extract (a
crucial part of fougère fragrances) is part of this blend.
Allergies to oakmoss are extremely rare, but do exist.
I should say just WOW... but i am goint to say something
more; Thanks Taha, thanks for doing this, it is very
appropiate for my climate, for summer, for over 40
degrees...this has been a lovely surprise.

The top notes start with a
woody almost pinetar note that disappears within a second
or two leading into a blend of a citrus rose after that
the oud pops through slightly to bring in a sparkling
green note that will make brief appearances here and there
throughout the drydown. The drydown is so very nice
lasting many hours of creamy green goodness. Anyone
looking for a Fougere fragrance with a nice dose of
oakmoss needs to try this.

Another amazing attar from Taha that makes me smile and
say WOW! on first sniff. The top notes of lavender, rose
and citrus sparkle on top of a base of oud, patchouli,
oakmoss and possibly tonka or vanilla. There is a green
spicy/herbal heart that ties it together and completes the
fougere. Like most great classic fragrances, there is a
tension between the lavender, rose and citrus vs. the oud
and patchouli that creates interest and makes it hard to
stop sniffing. This is definitely a must buy!

The opening notes are not distinctly individual notes but
the combination of lavender, rose, and citrus as a blend
are nice and do indeed lend a crispness to the
opening. The oud and patchouli rear up quickly and
although patchouli is not a favorite note of mine, I do
love what it does in small doses. In this, it is quiet,
letting the oud do the talking, but gives a wonderful
balance to the oud. The oakmoss is also quiet but in
combination with the galbanum does emphasize a strong
green element. Green and earthy and somewhat fresh
and crisp - Oud Fougere definitely expands the world
of mukhallats and what can be done with oud.

I tried Oud Fougere and it has amazing longevity. I could
not get the opening citrus notes but the rose was quite
prominent and within the next 15 min, it evolved into very
enjoyable green notes.

I am really impressed by the Oud Fougere as not that many
mukallats have sparked my interest and taste. I have been
wearing it for the past 2 hours with confidence out in a
meeting and pleased with the mood it creates around me.
