The note of Fougassette unfurls with a delectable, warm embrace, immediately conjuring the soft, yielding texture of a freshly baked Provençal pastry. It is intensely gourmand yet possesses a rustic elegance, avoiding overt saccharine sweetness. The initial impression is one of yeasty richness, a doughy, almost brioche-like density, subtly intertwined with whispers of candied orange peel and a delicate, almost ethereal anise or orange blossom nuance. Its texture is smooth and velvety, akin to a crumbly, tender interior, while its projection is moderate, radiating a comforting warmth rather than an insistent sharpness. As it evolves, the initial 'baked goods' warmth deepens, settling into a creamy, slightly vanillic heart with just a hint of buttery fat, grounding the experience. It behaves primarily as a heart note, providing substantial body and a unique textural richness, often lingering with a comforting persistence into the base where its gentle sweetness and warmth continue to radiate.
