Bay rum x fougère: the second and final entry in our natural fougère series.To create Baygère, we again worked with Denatured: an open-access perfume lab here in Winnipeg, Canada. Tom, a graduate of the prestigious Grasse Institute of Perfumery, generously offered his phenomenal expertise to help us develop our second unique all-natural fougère - the fragrance family that evokes the imagined smell of ferns.Baygère combines fragrant West Indies bay and refreshing bergamot with the classic fougère triad: absolutes of tonka bean, oakmoss and lavender – which is joined by lavandin, an herbaceous lavender hybrid. Tonka bean, a legume from South America, brings a natural coumarin component – a complex smell of sweet hay and fresh grass.We further enhanced this distinctive fougère with the addition of juniper berry, cedarwood, and some warmth from vanilla and myrrh.Classic bay rum meets a time-honoured fresh and green fougère: an encounter of familiar styles with an unfamiliar conclusion.
