Fougère Royale

Fougère Royale is a Houbigant fragrance of 1882 or 1884, by Paul Parquet.

Trademark Fougère Royale is a trademark of its owner. Radler Parfums is not affiliated with it and describes it for history and education only.

The house, the year, the perfumer and the family are the Osmothèque’s, with a second source named where one agrees or disagrees; it classes it Fougère / Fougère. This record keeps to documented facts: the year, the house, the perfumer and the family, each with its source; no composition is given beyond what a filed source names, and never a formula.
