Années Folles
by La Parfumerie Moderne
Années Folles by La Parfumerie Moderne is a refined, aromatic fougère with a focus on lavender, nutmeg, and patchouli, balanced with warm tonka bean and benzoin. It opens with a crisp, herbal freshness reminiscent of barbershop traditions but with a smoother, more modern quality. Over time, the fragrance evolves into a softly sweet, woody-spicy composition with a subtle sweetness and warmth, making it feel both comforting and distinctive. Some find it slightly masculine due to thyme, nutmeg, and patchouli, though the overall character remains unisex and approachable. The scent is moderate in power, with moderate sillage and lasting longevity, and performs best in cooler weather—early spring or autumn, rather than summer.
