Product Information
Full details
Houbigant Paris Fougere Royale is an iconic Extrait de Parfum designed for adults who appreciate historic, complex, and sophisticated unisex fragrances. Created originally by Paul Parquet in 1882, this scent offers the definitive aromatic experience of a lush woodland with layers of lavender, Mediterranean herbs, and warm earthiness; however, its traditional and dense composition may feel overly heavy for individuals who prefer light, modern citrus or aquatic scents.

FAQs
Is this fragrance suitable for daily wear?
Yes, its balanced composition makes it a classic choice for daily wear, provided you adjust the number of sprays to suit the environment.
Does the scent change over time?
Yes, as an Extrait de Parfum, it is designed to evolve from the herbal top notes into a spicy heart and finally an earthy, mossy base.
Is this a masculine or feminine scent?
Fougere Royale is a unisex fragrance that balances traditional herbal masculinity with elegant floral and spicy nuances.
How should I store the 100ml bottle?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, such as a drawer or cupboard, to prevent degradation.
What is the difference between this and an Eau de Toilette?
As an Extrait de Parfum, this version contains a higher concentration of fragrance oils, leading to better longevity and a more intense olfactory experience.
Can I apply this to my clothing?
While it can be applied to clothing, be cautious as the high concentration of oils may leave marks on delicate fabrics like silk.
Troubleshooting
The scent fades faster than expected
Ensure skin is well-hydrated with unscented lotion before application; dry skin absorbs perfume oils and causes them to dissipate quickly.
The scent feels too strong upon initial application
Apply the fragrance 15-20 minutes before leaving the house to allow the top notes to settle into the heart and base notes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the performance of this 100ml Extrait de Parfum, apply it to clean, moisturized skin on pulse points such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears. Since this is an extrait, a little goes a long way; start with one or two sprays and adjust based on preference. Proper care involves storing the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and fluctuating temperatures to preserve the integrity of the essential oils. Always keep the cap tightly sealed after use to prevent evaporation or oxidation of the perfume liquid.
