The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Angelos Creations Olfactives, Fougèriste is an ode to the fougère genre with a modern twist. Perfumer Angelos Balamis crafts a composition that opens with dewberry and Tunisian neroli, setting a fresh and vibrant tone. The heart features lavender and orange blossom, balanced by the green freshness of violet leaf and Egyptian jasmine. This evolves into a woody base anchored by Brazilian rosewood, sandalwood, and moss, creating a harmonious blend that feels both classic and contemporary.
Apply Fougèriste in light layers to allow the dewberry and citrus notes to shine initially. The lavender and woody base will gradually emerge over time, so it's best enjoyed close to skin rather than sprayed liberally.

Angelos Balamis
Vintage technique, engineered mindAngelos Balamis is a Greek perfumer based in Thessaloniki who began composing fragrances in 2014, drawn to the possibility of creating something original by marrying vintage perfumery techniques with a modern touch.
“Everything started back in 2014. I was fascinated by the possibility of being able to create something new, unusual and original, trying to marry vintage techniques, which I adore, with a modern touch.”
