perfumer extracted the synthetic component coumarin and
used it in perfumery for the first time. Coumarin can be found
in several plants, such as Tonka beans, and it possesses an
intensive scent of freshly mown grass. Fougère compositions
include notes of lavender, geranium, moss and wood.
Aromatic Green – Compositions of this group include
accentuated green notes of grass or leaves and aromatic
components like lavender, rosemary and wood.

This
Fougère comes from the French
word for "fern" and resembles a blend of
fragrances with sweet top-notes of lavender
developing into woody scents of oakmoss and coumarin (similar to
the scent of new-mown hay). Aromatic fougère contains additional
notes of herbs, spice and/or wood.
