Got a sample of Fougere Royale on the way. How is it?

To me, it's a well blended mix of aromatic woodiness, florals, herbs, and a slight sweetness in the drydown. I find it to be "classic" and gentlemanly. It has good longevity (for me). BTW, I think Amouage Bracken Man must have been inspired by Fougere Royale. When I sampled Bracken Man, I immediately thought of Fougere Royale. As a matter of fact, that's why I ended up not pursuing Bracken Man because it would have been redundant in my collection since I already have the FR.

Good to know. I was looking for a sample of Bracken Man as well but couldn't find a source.
