by Les Indemodables
Fougere Emeraude by Les Indemodables presents a bold and unexpected fusion of tuberose, lavender, and clary sage, resulting in a clean, aromatic, and gender-neutral scent that defies traditional fougere conventions. The initial burst is sharp and herbal—dominated by green clary sage and soapy lavender—but quickly unfolds into a smooth, creamy tuberose heart with subtle mimosa and tonka backing. The result is a refined, understated floral with a slightly medicinal, minty-green undercurrent, evoking a spa-like serenity. It carries a quiet elegance, not overheated or overly sweet, refraining from indulgence in florals or powdery sweetness. Many find it remarkably wearable despite its prominent floral core, especially during spring and summer months, and appreciate its minimalism, transparency, and technical craftsmanship. The scent leans toward a sophisticated, unapologetic white floral profile distinct from conventional fougère compositions, grounding the tuberose in herbal clarity rather than cloying sugar. Although some perceive it as restrained, balanced, or faintly unremarkable, others call it transformative, describing it as a rare kind of perfume that redefines personal bias—especially toward lavender or tuberose.
