La Bougie Eau de Parfum

West Cork perfumery La Bougie, the fastest-growing fragrance brand in Ireland has launched the La Bougie Eau de Parfum collection. Inspired by founder and perfumer Lucy Hagerty’s family home in the Italian countryside and her years living near the Indian Ocean, the four-piece collection embraces a range of fragrances that will bring your summer days and nights to life. “Our most popular scent is Mission Fig which has achieved a somewhat iconic status in Ireland, and this is the greatest compliment and career highlight for me,” says Lucy. “With notes of parched earth, blond wood and fig leaves this really is Tuscany in a bottle and inspired from long family lunches in the garden under our old, gnarled fig tree. This is the perfume I wear every day and I often get stopped and asked what it is”. Using prized aromatics and botanical oils from around the world, the collection comprises of the aforementioned Misson Fig, Tuscan Bergamot, Blackcurrant Leaf, and my favourite Coconut & Hibiscus, with notes of jasmine and salted coconut capturing the essence of hot summer nights by the ocean.
