Description Fougère Bengale is a rich fougère fragrance with dominant notes of tobacco, hay and tonka bean. When one reads the word 'fougère' they typically assume that a bright, clean, agrestic fragrance is what they'll be experiencing; with Fougère Bengale this expectation is completely subverted. Similar to Pelagos by Dusita, this masterpiece behaves like a fougère but has the deep, sweet, warm, resinous textures of a Winter fragrance, and the material depth Marc-Antoine is famous for.
