Fougere meaning Fern in French, celebrates the first synthetically created scent. What an imaginative perfumer imagined the otherwise odourless fern might smell like. Made with a mix of fragrances, the top notes include lavender scents which give way to more woodland and herby green notes like Vetiver adding a spicy twist.
Soft lavender purple, deep forest green, fresh fern green and a muted coral red are the print’s living colours, all rising from a bottle drawn in fine black-and-white ink against a clean white ground – a palette that feels fresh, gently vintage and quietly romantic. Those tones settle beautifully on sage green, chalky off-white, dusky pink or soft grey walls, and the crisp ink work means it holds its own against deeper greens too. Stylists would place it comfortably in French country, cottagecore and grandmillennial schemes, where hand-drawn botanicals and apothecary charm are at home. Given its subject – Fougère, one of the four pillars of perfumery from the Les Parfums collection, evoking a brisk walk through verdant countryside with the sweet kiss of fern – it naturally suits a bedroom, dressing room or bathroom, anywhere scent and ritual already live; a hallway or landing works just as well. Paired with the collection’s Floral, Oriental and Chypre prints, it builds a gallery wall that reads as a complete sensory journey, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves perfume, botanicals or a touch of old-world illustration.
The print is made with archival pigment inks on Enhanced Matte art paper, a smooth museum-grade stock whose soft, glare-free surface lets the ink detail and watercolour washes read clearly from any angle – and it flatters both slim modern frames and more ornate vintage ones, which suit this design particularly well. A4 sits happily on a shelf or dressing table among perfume bottles; A3 slots neatly into a gallery wall alongside its collection companions; A2 makes a confident statement above a chest of drawers or bathroom basin; A1 commands a bedroom wall on its own; and A0 anchors an entire room, turning the botanical detail into something you can almost step into. If you’d rather skip framing altogether, this design is also available as a 28×40" (70×100 cm) canvas print, ready to hang straight out of the box.
