Houbigant Fougere Royalle

doctordial

my brain goes "thonk"
I've been rotating this fragrance this summer and I've got compliments both times I wore it from women of two vastly different age groups. The first time I wore it, I think this woman was in her twenties. She was standing next to me and said you smell nice. I wore it yesterday and a woman in her sixties said to me you smell amazing. Wow I haven't had woman directly compliment me on the fragrance I was wearing in a long time.

Yes, it's good stuff.

I ordered a sample; wound up getting a full bottle.

I even restored a wooden soap bowl for the same ...

Truly a fabulous fougere that get's me complements from all ages and both sexes. I went the cheap route and loaded up on 10ml purse sprays in extrait strength. At $14.00 a pop you can grab 200ml for less than half than price of a full bottle($660.00 MSRP)...

How long will 10mL last? Curious!
 
Anyone who has this do they have the Apla Fougere reproduction and compare them? I love the Alpa just wanted to know how similar they are.

For just 14 bucks?!? Wow! Thanks for the information.

Not sure if you can find them for $14.00 anymore but even at, say, $30.00 the cost per ml is WAY cheaper than the fancy 100ml bottle. BTW, last time I check a 100ml bottle of the EdP is only about $60.00 in the right place and it shares a LOT of the extraits character!

My small stash...

I do have the Alpa Fougere aftershave; didn't know they are related!

Maybe to yes, I'd say. Love them both. Certainly not dissimilar!

Congrats Sir Doctordial!

I slapped on the Alpa this morning, having worn the Houbignant yesterday.

Yes. They are close.
