Why So Masculine? by Fluez is an aromatic fougère fragrance for women and men. First, it opens herbal and green, and then it moves into a soft leather base. The name is a deliberate question mark over what a masculine fragrance is supposed to smell like.
First, lavender sets a classic aromatic tone. Meanwhile, galbanum adds a sharp green bite and nutmeg brings a warm spicy touch.
Top notes:
Next, chamomile adds a gentle, slightly honeyed herbal note. In addition, tonka bean brings sweetness while oakmoss grounds the heart with an earthy depth.
Heart notes:
Finally, leather gives a smooth, worn-in warmth, while pine and patchouli add a resinous, forest-floor finish.
Base notes:
Overall, Why So Masculine? is a fougère that plays with convention rather than following it. Therefore, it suits anyone who likes classic aromatic structures with a modern, ambiguous twist.
