Where it fits.

  • Formal

    Fougere Oud is polished and woody, so it sits well with a suit.

  • Signature

    Fougere Oud is woody and spicy with a clear character, good on most days.

  • All-rounder

    Fougere Oud works in three seasons and many places, the one to grab when unsure.

  • Winter cold

    Fougere Oud is warm, amber and spicy, so it lasts in cold air.

Try them together

Three pairings

The three highest pair scores among our checked bottles. Each score has a reason. Smell is personal; these rules are a starting point.

  1. Arabiyat Prestige

    Fougere Oud's tobacco melts into the vanilla in Ramad Earthy, with labdanum in both.

    Spray Ramad Earthy first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Fougere Oud on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  2. Lattafa

    Qaed Al Fursan Untamed's caramel sweetens the tobacco in Fougere Oud, and both carry labdanum.

    Spray Qaed Al Fursan Untamed first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Fougere Oud on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  3. Afnan

    9pm Night Out's tonka bean sweetens the tobacco in Fougere Oud, tied by shared cedarwood.

    Spray 9pm Night Out first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Fougere Oud on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).
