Congrats on the acquisition! My bottle of Fougere Royale says on the bottom EDP. Didn't know there was also an EDT.

I think they sell it in the normal size but in a fancy velvet fold out box for a hefty price.
Now it has dried down it reminds me of some Amouage I've tried. Not my style really but nice to add to the collection. I didn't like the original on its release but it has grown on me and I now enjoy it. Now I've reached middle age I appear to be drawn to classic scent.

Isn't it amazing how age tends to mellow one as to their taste in scents?

Yes. No more avant garde comme des garcons stuff for me sonny jim. I want to smell like Sean Connery or Michael Caine these days.

Congrats on your purchase!

I only bothered to smell FOUGERE ROYALE at Neiman Marcus last week and it has been haunting me ever since. It started out "odd smelling" but not bad. As the day wore on the aroma wafting from my wrist just got better and better. This was for the EdP.

I do believe it will be my next fragrance purchase.

Was the perfume sample possibly a national promo item or was it just a gift from a nice salesperson?

I did not believe an EdT was made in new reissue of Fougere Royale. Is it possible that it says EdP? If they gave a 10ml of the parfum, that is a prett good gift. I remember the 1 oz parfum was around $600.

This appears to be a seasonal promo. They only had a limited stock.
I believe this parfum was Rojas Doves favorite version and it certainly has that opulent style you find in his own line.
