Stetson Original
feminine
Stetson Original by Stetson is a Oriental Fougere fragrance for women and men. Stetson Original was launched in 1981. Top notes are Sage and Citruses; middle notes are Vetiver, Patchouli and Cedarwood; base notes are Amber, Musk, Honey, Vanilla and Tonka Bean. Earthy and untamed, evoking prairie campfires. Embodying rugged independence, the scent is a true American original. Headstrong at first, with bold notes of citrus and sage, it settles into an easy, woody swagger. In time, its warmth and depth emerge, as temperate as the western wind.

However, some enthusiasts suggest exploring modern indie alternatives like Lonestar Memories or DS&Durga Cowboy Grass for more refined or unique takes on the cowboy fragrance genre.
