Fougère v. (Martin de Candre) Daytona fougère
Martin de Candre takes the classic fougère accord, lavender-coumarin-oakmoss, and adds an unexpected and completely original twist, a brash phenolic note that reminds many saponiphiles of new rubber on hot tar. I don't get this tarry note in Martin de Candre's Original or Agrumes, so I don't think it's just the base I'm smelling. But it's there in abundance in the Rose, Vétyver, and of course, today's Fougère. It used to really bug me, but I'm getting used to it now, and in five years or so when I get to the bottom of this jar, I'm sure I'll be craving it.
