What do reviewers say about Fougère Noire and Tabac Grande?
Most fougères play it safe. This one doesn't. The marine-oakmoss-animalic drydown is a deliberate choice, strange, dark, and compelling enough that people will stop you to ask what it is.Fougère Noire
The civet and hyraceum are the whole point. They don't whisper. If you want polite tobacco, look elsewhere. Tabac Grande goes straight for the memory, pipe smoke, cognac on the breath.Tabac Grande
