Dunhill Nordic Fougere Cologne

Details and Care

Dunhill Nordic Fougere by Alfred Dunhill is an aromatic woody cologne launched in 2022. Fougere, French for "fern," is a traditionally masculine scent category that incorporates botanical notes of citrus and herbs over a woody and earthy base. Dunhill Nordic Fougere expands on this legacy by using unusual and invigorating botanicals such as kumquat, geranium and bamboo leaf. Warm spices add to this sense of intrigue, while a vanilla and patchouli base completes the classic scent profile. Dunhill Nordic Fougere is a fresh and green crowd-pleasing cologne that is suitable for a wide array of occasions.

Questions and Answers

Q: How does Dunhill Nordic Fougere smell?

A: Dunhill Nordic Fougere is a refined and minimalist take on the fougere category. While typical fougeres are full of different herbs, often including lavender and sage, Dunhill Nordic Fougere sticks to a few unique scent notes for a more tailored and clean overall effect. The result is a fresh, slightly spicy botanical cologne ideal for the office. 

Q: Where do you apply Dunhill Nordic Fougere?

A: To increase the longevity of the fragrance, spray onto your major pulse points such as behind your ears, at the base of your neck, on the wrists, behind the knees and in the inner elbows.

Q: What is the fragrance concentration?

A: Dunhill Nordic Fougere is an eau de perfume, or EDP. EDPs contain a higher concentration of fragrance oils than eau de toilettes, or EDTs. A naturally light scent formulated as an EDP provides the best of both worlds, with an airy scent quality and good longevity. 

Q: Is Dunhill Nordic Fougere for him or her?

A: Fougere scents are traditionally marketed to men, as their aromatic quality can bring up associations of barber shops and classic masculine style. However, Dunhill Nordic Fougere leans more unisex than other fougere fragrances because it uses unusual green notes. 

Q: Does Dunhill Nordic Fougere last long?

A: Dunhill Nordic Fougere has moderate longevity because of its EDP concentration. If applied on pulse points and worn mostly indoors, this fragrance remains noticeable for around 6 to 7 hours. Skin chemistry and environmental conditions have a large impact on the longevity and specific dry-down of a fragrance. 

Q: What fragrances smell similar?

A: Dior Sauvage, Prada L'Homme, Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male

Q: What season should I wear Dunhill Nordic Fougere?

A: Dunhill Nordic Fougere contains fresh and watery notes of bamboo leaf that make it feel lighter than many other fougere fragrances. It also has a lighter base of sandalwood and patchouli, rather than heavier oakmoss. Dunhill Nordic Fougere's overall sense of freshness is ideal for everyday wear in spring and summer. 

Q: Where can I buy it?

A: Perfume.com is perhaps one of the best online fragrance retailers because we offer the widest selection of authentic perfumes and colognes, competitive pricing and top-notch customer service.
