Bracken is just phenomenal. Even though it has the cloves and cinnamon in it, they almost have a cooling spice for me. Works in any temperature for me.

[@regismonkton]

One of my favorite fragrance families is the Fougere. I appreciated learning more about the use of lily-of-the-valley in perfumery.

[@mikefordsaccount4900]

I love old school fougeres Drakkar Noir, Paco Rabanne Azzaro Pour Homme but I enjoy Fougere Royale and Bracken Man as well. Great suggestions.

[@klassemyra]

I do own B-612 and it’s a beats om me! projects monstrously! Don’t think it’s on the light side, at least not on me. Only need two sprays to last a hole workday.😊 Love that one and together with Hacivat my favorite from the house!

[@MP-ej9pw]

Bracken Man is my favorite in this genre and I own several of the ones you spoke about. Great video.

[@Tomatohater64]

Fougere Royal is without question my go-to fougere fragrance. I am on my fourth bottle. It smells fabulous. I would also include a truly fabulous fragrance from Masque Milano called Hemingway.

[@Radhatter1]

I live in Hong Kong and find Guerlain Vetiver EDP is perfect for warm humid tropical days

[@shazwanmusalleb4144]

Hi from MALAYSIA. This helps a lot!! Thankyou!

[@jasonparisi688]

Masculine purial is my absolute favorite fragrance of all time !! To me its a more masculine and lavender vetiver version of reflection man!!!!! The powder is so smooth !!!

[@louiefiend]

Finally someone else who thinks the same thing!! I was thinking it was a more mature Le Male or Reflection!

[@ineedtochangemyname5803]

This video came out right on time. It’s hot af where I live and I was debating if I should wear MFK masculin plureal today. I love fougeres.

[@sjohndupont7365]

I live in dry heat and fougere royale and masculin pluriel works great. I agree I wouldn't wear the sweet ones in the heat. Thanks for another great video.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thanks for sharing!

[@paigeofstylez]

Favorite fougeres this week are Les Indemodables - Fougere Emeraude Nobile 1942 - Fougere Nobile Tom Ford - Beau de Jour MDCI - Invasion Barbare Naughton and Wilson - Gravitas Houbigant - Fougere Royale Tom Ford - Fougere Platine Rogue - Fougere L' Aube

[@mdo5121]

sounds like a great list

[@Spiralnebel_GB]

Now i got my decant of B-612 and to be honest it reminds me a lot of Masculin Pluriel. Both smell really synthetic and they remind me those car defusers.

[@wasteofspace20]

You’ve always been one of the most substantive of all the reviewers and for that you stand on a special pedestal in my view

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you! :)

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great list and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@jeffrosenblum5053]

Always lover fougere scents. They are masculine and tend to mostly be fresh experiences. Great video. I'll take the Rogue Perfumery.

[@deondiamond]

I absolutely enjoy your videos all the way from Southern Africa🇿🇦

[@johnvuela1211]

Being based in southern Vietnam I can say fougere don't do well here except in the less hot months like Nov to Feb. Tried Fougere Royale and Rive Gauche but still too cloying.

[@frankp1648]

Prada Luna Rossa Carbon is worth trying. Not your typical gentlemanly fougere, but it works well in the heat.

[@regismonkton]

What about Calvin Klein "Eternity E.D.P."? I just started using it today. It smells good, I enjoy the smell of it a lot, but I don't yet know what it's overall performance is like.

[@horatio737]

Clove is often used in a carnation accord. They share the same molecule, eugenol

[@carolkhoo4129]

How exciting! I am also living in Malaysia. Wouldn't it be fitting if you did a similar video for the ladies. Thank you.

[@dajuice7030]

I think many of the new men’s fragrances are classified as fougere’s you went for more of the “classic” style. I would pick Chanel Platinum Egoiste with that mental cold feel in the heat works well. Also the new Viking Cologne would fit this list well. Was able to sample it and it’s very nice.A fresher more citrus Viking that will be great for summers.

[@akaraichanchai1477]

My father wore paco rabanne and drakkar and is because of those to i like fougere. Tom Ford Beau De Jours is my favorite.

[@hojubaby]

I just gifted my dad nishane b612 and we are at a very hot and humid location, its a fantastic fragrance and really projects and lasts a long time

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

OOH cool thank you for letting me!! :)

[@hojubaby]

@@ThePerfumeGuy i actually got it for myself but found it too green for my own taste, yes yes, he knows 😆 i got myself xerjoff’s 40 knots and it arrived today, oh my god, what a beautiful scent! I think women can easily wear this one, dont know why it has so many masculine votes on fragrantica 🤔

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I see for sure, yes I agree! :)

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

Love most of Nishane but B612 was such a let down. I had a hard time smelling it on me. It was so faint I assumed I had received a bad bottle. Really wish it would have been more noticeable.

[@hakanustun4708]

Amazing list, good job. Can we add Creed Viking?

I'm from Malaysia and I wear Platinum Egoiste on a hot day, Pasha de Cartier Parfum at night time or cold office.

[@odeansamuels1727]

Lol I wear Ani at temps 80-90 and I must say I find the fragrance smells a lot better and the spices unfold and as of now I prefer how it wears in the warmer weather than compared to the cooler months. in cool months its a "Nice Vanilla" in the warmer months its "More than a Vanilla".....but hey im loco 😂😂😂😂

[@pauran58]

I have Masculine Plural and it works just fine in south Louisiana. Hot and humid.

[@titopina1]

I love Roja Vetiver Pour Homme Parfum Cologne and the performance is horrible on me. Do you have any similiar smelling options with more longevity? Love this concept Sebastian!

[@derekjackson1039]

Nishane seems like a good choice for some who kinda likes barbershop frags but wants something a little different and lighter

[@shelbypbj]

Love the suggestions. I hope you review the new Montale Crazy in Love eau de parfum!

[@fahadalraisi6649]

Wow I love fougere scent my favourite is INVASION BARBARE and Creed Royal Water

[@northwestscent9455]

Masculin Pluriel is much lighter than B-612, I couldn’t imagine wearing B-612 in the heat.

[@andrewperez7843]

Will you do a review on the 3 new MFK fragrances ?

[@MrLsaylor]

Great video. I love those suggestions. I might add Milano Cento EDT and Havana by Aramis.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Oh yes Milano Cento is great. I have done two videos on that house. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHW6f2hmrKh-gs0

[@joeyswaney8497]

Fougere Royale is amazing in high heat/humidity. Bracken would top my list.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Great point!

[@wjustinmartin]

could also be for New Orleans - spot on climate

[@kend4210]

Le Frenchy! My new favorite! I think it is very underrated

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I can see this yes. Maybe a bit too old school?

[@kend4210]

@@ThePerfumeGuy not for me. The opening is kind of old school classy, but it quickly gets more modern as it dries down. I just love it

[@neonmoon4123]

Fantastic suggestions. I think Bracken is a bit strong and vintage, so maybe better in cooler temps. Sartorial can be cloying with the sweet dampened honeyed aspects coming through in humidity.. strange scent tbh. I'd include Roja Scandal Parfum Cologne for a traditional classic fresh fougere, Chanel Platinum Egoiste sharp fougere with heavenly metallic opening,.. and maybe even Cerruti 1881.

[@davidstoklosa]

Great topić Sebastian ! Love the video !

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thanks a lot!

[@frankp1648]

I just bought Special for Gentlemen by Le Galion. You recommended it a few years ago. It's a superb fougere, I'm blown away! Though probably not the best choice for hot and humid weather.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It’s really really good! But it’s warm and resinous so I left it off. But either way I need another bottle as I’m way at the bottom in my current bottle.

[@frankp1648]

@@ThePerfumeGuy I agree, it doesn't suit hot weather. By the way, I would say it's a unisex fougere (despite the name).

[@jeffjrums6051]

The person who offered the question should also consider Gravitas pour homme!

[@nikosparfum3439]

Hi great review 👍 but what you think about acqua di parma essenza?

[@hypnotoads]

Bon Monsieur for the win in my book or Fougère L’Aube from the same house. You’re right - Bracken Man is a pretty solid bet also. How about Scandal and Fiero too? ☺️

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yes I agree re Scandal for sure. Especially Scandal Parfum Cologne in the humid heat. Fiero not too experienced with unfortunately! Will have to check it out. :)

[@mrrob4590]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Fiero is a similar take on Dior Eau Sauvage lasts a bit longer. I have worn me decant of Fiero along side eau sauvage with good success Fiero lasts a bit longer I feel.

[@mrrob4590]

I’d like to add Patrick cologne a great cheapie that is super green from fragrances of Irelandbit in my opinion is super beautiful . I was also thinking Penhaligons Endymion could work as well. Even green Irish tweed could be considered. Have a great night all.

Maybe try Vert Fougere: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep3Ldqxpqr55ma8 it's smoky! :)

[@gtothee5723]

Sebastian I need Bracken Man but it’s gone 😩

[@Spiralnebel_GB]

@Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews: Does that Pasha smells like the Fougere notes in the EDP but without the warm notes or different? I like those aspects but for my noise the mixture of fougere and that amber smells strange. Hoe about Bois de Portugal? Does Aqcua de Parma has a typical Lavender based Fougere scent too?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yes to me the new Pasha Parfum reminds me of the EDT without the warm notes and the heavy sandalwood. I'm assuming you can classify Bois Du Portugal as a fougere but it's not typically Fougere like for me. And I have not seen an ADP Fougere or Lavender heavy scent! :)

[@talalahmed608]

My two favorites are missing. MM At the Barber and Chanel Egoiste !! 💔

[@JT-rx1eo]

Chanel Egoiste is not a barbershop fougere at all. Plus I don't like it at all. Now Platinum Egoiste is like a hybrid of a cool barbershop lavender fougere and the Green Irish Tweed DNA, producing a weird metallic accord to me. Not sure about hot/humid appropriateness though.

[@talalahmed608]

@@JT-rx1eo yeah sorry meant the platinum egoiste. Egoiste is anything but a fougere 🤣

[@apollo5756]

Does Chanel Platinum Egoiste not count? That would still be my choice for humd temps

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I didn’t think of it as a Fougere but it’s very Aromatic!! 🌿🌿🌿

[@apollo5756]

@@ThePerfumeGuy This is something I've never fully understood, the whole barbershop vs fougere. Although I own many of them, so as long as I like the scent maybe it doesnt matter.

[@EOTA564]

Platinum Egoiste is such a versatile fragrance for a slightly older (30+) man. It’s not a fragrance that ever ‘wowed’ me and yet I reach for it again and again. And it works all year round.

[@JT-rx1eo]

@@apollo5756 The way I've reconciled the whole "barbershopy" vs. fougere thing, which is a bit of a nebulous, ill-defined and subjective undertaking anyway, is to think of Venn diagrams. Those overlapping circles that show set relationships. Most fragrances that get annointed as "barbershop" are fougeres, but not all. Maybe 80 or 90%. And of course fougeres, by definition, pretty much follow the structure of its eponymous fragrance, the original 1882 Houbigant Fougere Royale. The note triad of lavender, coumarin and oakmoss figure in as the fougere backbone. "The smell of a fern" implies green to me. I suppose coumarin, with its "freshly mown hey" accord, did that for Fougere Royale, but I would think any notes providing a "green" accord would suffice. Lavender I think is the "indespensible note" in a fougere if there is one. If someone calls a frag a fougere and it doesn't have lavender I tell them the burden of justifying the label is on them. I read that a perfumer explained the difference between a fougere and a chypre as immediately being able to classify each based on the difference between the lavender-coumarin and bergamont-oakmoss accords. I guess the "clean, cool and masculine" association and vibe of lavender and green made the gentleman's barbershop association inevitable. But what about the other 10% to 20% of "barbershop" scents that aren't fougeres? Is classic Old Spice a "barbershop" frag? Pinaud Clubman? I would say so. Any aftershave qualifies in my book. Old Spice is not a fougere - it's a Spicy Oriental (the world's first for men!) Any scent, regardless of classification, can be considered a "barbershop" if it conjures an association.

what do you mean when you say a fragrance gets “too coin”?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

too cloying!

[@ronmiller7248]

As someone new to creating perfumes I don't get fougere or chypre types. It appears to me that it's just some descriptive title given to any scent having the list of 4 materials. Nothing more. You list 8 or 10 materials you smell her yet they likely have 5 or more you're not smelling. So if I create a perfume with 20 materials which is certainly not a large #, it might be called a Fougere just because in the list of materials, I happen to have used the basic fougere materials? We never seem to get definitions that aren't confusing.

[@malayneum]

im from Malaysia too

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Oh cool! Hello! :)

[@carlgranados7106]

IN a hot humid climate all the fougere's you recommended would be too for me much unless you are in a cold air conditioned building all day. I would only wear heavily citrus or tea based frags and I probably would not use niche except at night, in air conditioning, and for formal events. Niche can be cloying in the heat. I also feel to much heat and humidity "ruin" the best parts of a niche frag so why waste the money.

[@shezad2006]

You totally forgot another amazing fougere IS “at the barbers”

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I'm not sure I forgot it? I decided to not feature it! :)

But a Malaysian gentleman that buys Niche perfumes possibly spends all day in temperature controlled environment, so any fougere could work at 23.-25 degrees 😂😂😂
