Google says fougère fragrances are inspired by the scent of ferns, moss, wood, and green notes. They typically include citrus, rose, and geranium.
According to Chiseled Face, Jarnvidr is inspired by ancient Norse woods. "The heart of Járnviðr holds the aromatic duo of Cedar and Geranium, which brings a touch of green freshness, invigorating the senses much like a walk through a verdant forest after a soft rain. Light, refreshing notes of Orange cut through, lending a crisp citrus twist that lifts the entire composition." And there's a strong, lingering rose note, too. I assert this is a fougere in all but name.
Enndeegee appreciation day challenge:
There once was a heater of bread
Who regarded the theme with some dread
After shaving his face
He pleaded his case
And the judges exclaimed, "Well said!"
