Midsummer Collection Deep Fougère is a fresh, woody aromatic fougère with fruity and powdery accords, featuring apple, cardamom, cedar, amber, and musk. It opens with a green, slightly sweet apple and cardamom note, evoking a retro 2000s aesthetic akin to Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger or CK Truth — clean, soft, and inoffensive. The drydown reveals a powdery, musky-amber base, with skin-scented sillage and a modest longevity that fades quickly into the skin after 4–6 hours, particularly on warmer days. While not perfumed with strong individuality or intensity, the fragrance earns its place through smoothness and wearability, making it suitable for casual outings, gym visits, or as a subtle room or fabric spray. The perfume is especially praised as a companion to Orange Zest, forming a balanced duo that enhances the value, especially given its extremely affordable price point.
