Occasion:
All that is fantastic and wearable about a fougere, brightened and tweaked with a tropical fruit accord. Familiar difference, and as refreshing as a fruit sorbet: a daytime scent.

Francesca’s Inspiration:
"In this experiment, I started with the classic fougere structure – a green, aromatic, woody accord, which is familiar and recognizable. Besides, this is an accord that I only recently started to emotionally connect with. But I wanted to push it further, challenging its traditional boundaries by introducing an unexpected twist: a vibrant accord of tropical fruits, with juicy, mouthwatering mango at its heart.

This exotic note disrupts the predictable accord of the fougere, rewiring it into something both familiar and surprising. The result is a scent that feels recognizable but also refreshingly different, requiring a moment to detect the familiar fougère footprint beneath the luscious and original facet of fruitiness. To me, this fragrance sparks a joyful sense of surprise—a contrast between the grounding comfort of the fougere and the playful brightness of the tropical fruits. It feels pampering yet invigorating, deep but never heavy, mouthwatering without slipping into gourmand territory.

Additionally, I set a secondary challenge for myself: to avoid using iris or iris-like accords altogether and to keep animalic notes to a bare minimum, limited to only a couple of clean musks."
