A very enjoyable, herbal-green fragrance with some heft in its opening but with a longevity that’d be insulting from a $25 department store cologne, much less a $200 designer exclusive. The Mugler DNA is fully present with a punchy boldness but this seriously lasted < 40 minutes on me. No way.

Slightly sweet amber oakmoss.
I sense green notes, herbal, with geranium and bits of sweet amber. I do smell roses as well with sharp neroli but more of sharp herbal greens. I can’t detect fern here but tonka might be here but not sure as well.
It’s nice and i am smelling the stamp of Mugler here.

Nice fragrance got me hooked but should have looked at the reviews as mentioned the projection and longevity are garbage for the price this retails at £140.

This reminds me a lot of Zegna Sicilian Mandarin. This is a top notch fougere that replaced lavender with Neroli. Gorgeous.

While I am a huge Mugler fan, this line has disappointed due to high costs and poor performance.
This really impressed me – I was reminded of Chanel Pour Monsieur and Guerlain’s Mitsouko, perhaps because I have sampled a relatively small number of fougeres.
It is warm and herby, I detect oak moss and something minty (adding freshness).
It stayed close to my skin and did not last very long at!
I know not everything performs like Angel but what is the purpose of a scent if not to be smelled?!

I found Fougere Furieuse to be an interesting masculine aromatic fougere; it comes across as a darker shade of a lightly-spiced aromatic with deep-green herbal tones. Sounds great…but hold-on because this fragrances is a one-trick pony because it has drawbacks. First, it is linear and there is something in this scent that just does’t click and can be a little off-putting. Moreover, performance is not good; it lasted 90-minutes and sat pretty close to my skin after the first half-hour. This fragrance has some interesting elements but misses the mark.
Lastly, the asking price makes this fragrance a definite pass and I cannot recommend that any gentleman give Fougere Furieuse a try when there are so many other great aromatic fougere fragrances on the market for a fraction of the price. Your mileage may vary.

this is the love story and subsequent breakup with fougere furieuse.
setting: the bay
staring: me
i smell the tester “fume funnel” and it smells pleasant. the SA gives me the pitch as a ballsy floral, and I’m totally turned on. i ask to spray it on a tester paper, but she goes ahead and gives me the (really pretty) sample. i spray it the day later and *spoiler alert* its sucks.
the green notes at the top are distractingly synthetic, like the opening of a cheap fougere. once it gets past that disastrous phase, its the only part of the fragrance which is awful, as the rest is well blended. the light geranium blends well with the soapiness from the neroli, all resting on solid base notes. after an hour or so, it comes together a lot better–the catch is at this point, its mostly gone. longevity is really poor, 2 hours max on my skin before it just turns into a trace and it doesn’t project much at all.
so not only was the scent nothing like i expected, it was just….meh. maybe worth it for a fougere fan, but otherwise not at all worth the 180 cad (or 225 usd *gasp*)

I received three from the “exceptions” line to test, fougere furieuse, chyprissime and oriental express.
Fougere furieuse (again,kind of a silly name) is light, airy, green but with a warm orange blossom and coumarin base. The fern and oakmoss mingle nicely with geranium and a crisp yet warm accord. Not a groundbreaking creation, but Mugler’s exceptions really have top notch smelling ingredients: the fern and herbal accord is gorgeous, also being part of a family that’s not overcrowded (like chypres and orientals) it has a place.
That said there’s nothing furious about it, and it could do with a tad less neroli. But quite beautiful.
Good aura and presence.
scent: 8/10
longevity: 5/10
sillage: 6/10

This is a unisex earthy, herbal, fresh spicy scent that sits close to the skin. It’s classy and versatile and I always get compliments when I wear it. I wouldn’t want this scent to perform like a beast. Avant-garde it is not, but if you are after a fragrance that is suitable any time in any place, this is it. You can’t go wrong. Longevity is fine; what it lacks in sillage, it makes up for in elegance. 8.5/10

A beautifully blended masculine perfume, I can detect what must be Alien’s woodsy or amber notes. One small spray of this envelopes me in a cloud of scent, and it lingers far beyond a good scrubbing in the shower, which, would I wear this, I would appreciate. Unfortunately, this is too masculine for me- perhaps I will layer it. It would be amazing on a man.

I liked this but something turned me off. There’s a patchouli and bergamot having an argument in the background. Lemon was talking mess about patchoulli’s mama. It smells like lemon and dirt potpourri. If you like that, this is for you. I don’t dislike it, it’s just not my type.

Fougere Furieuse is hardly furious but it is quite delightful! A very unisex fougere and is quite female friendly. I love a fougere scent but usually feel like I smell too “dapper” and can’t get comfortable but this just smells fresh and clean to me. It has a soft edge and the oakmoss is very smooth, it isn’t a harsh at all. It has a slightly green quality to it but the geranium, bergamot and neroli keeps it really fresh and unisex but ever so slightly floral while the amber adds a bit of sexiness to it. Even a slightly powdery quality. Not much but it softens it just a tad. I just find this extremely pleasant to wear and is sort of a mood lifter. But ladies don’t let the “fougere” part make you think it is a gentleman’s fragrance…it isn’t, it is completely unisex.

Can’t wait… I currently own 4 in the line and this guy is definitely on the cutting edge…. AMEN was and IS Iconic and revolutionary……

I think the vintage lovers will like Fougere Furieuse, I don’t see too many similarities with Alien EDP,which has a real strong jasmine vibe, but this is the most unisex, it is nicely done, the oakmoss very well done, it lingers nicely on the skin, neither too masculine, nor frankly feminine..just typically an oak moss perfume, with a bit of soapiness…worth $185 a bottle? I don’t believe so..none of the Exceptions are worthy of such a high price..

Got a sample of this today. It is a great one for Alien lovers! It adds a slightly bitter, or shall I say slightly masculine edge to the alien concept. Lovely for those who find the original too sweet, but still very unisex IMO. Settles into a skin scent pretty quick, which is a bit disappointing. I couldn’t really smell much after about 30 minutes, but that could just be me getting used to it. I still gets wafts of the impression of the scent. Nice.
