The fashion house Dolce & Gabbana launched D & G Anthology fragrance collection in 2009. The collection consisted of six fragrances named after six tarot cards. Each fragrance is represented by a famous top model. Those fragrances are: Le Bateleur 1 (Tyson Ballou), L’Imperatrice 3 (Naomi Campbell), L’Amoureaux 6 (Noah Mills), La Roue de la Fortune 10 (Eva Herzigova i Fernando Fernandes), La Lune 18 (Claudia Schiffer) and La Force 11 (Tony Ward). Two new editions are added to the collection in 2011: La Temperance 14 („temperance“) and Le Fou 21 (“the fool”).
Le Fou 21 is a fragrance designed for careless and spontaneous individuals, so called "jesters”. Its composition is made of bergamot, juniper berries, ginger and fern accords.
Available as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

I decide to bought this by read those note, and Yeaahhh!!!! I'm happy with it. it's CITRUS, FRESH and MOSSY except poor longevity, on me it's like 4-5 hours then it's closer to my skin.Any tricks to keep it stay longer.
I'm also a girl and I have to say, I would follow a stranger into a dark lush wooded forest to catch a better whif of this ...well not quite but almost! It's that good. I am seriously thinking about getting a bottle for myself since my husband is unscented. This starts off with a rush of green seafoam mossy freshness and a tad of coriander and fresh ginger slices. This citrus is assimilated into the collective consciousness of the herbal fern notes and snappy juniper. The entire composition is held together by smooth smart bergamot and just a touch of woodiness but not overbearing ( Not a fan of heavy woody notes). This is hands down the best sexiest, freshest most attractive men's fragrance I've smelled yet.It is bold but not brash and has decent silage (atleast on me ) about 6 hours, but is not overbearing like many modern fragrances.This would be suitable for the office, the casual weekend outing with friends, the Art gallery opening or the first date. It is energising and uplifting, a perfect 10.
I am a girl, but I tried this on myself and loved it. It was so fresh, and a bit masculine. I'm thinking of buying it for myself...too bad I'm single, because if I had a boyfriend, I'd buy it for him, too!! Also, the bottle says Pour Homme on the front. It is not meant as a unisex fragrance.
IDK why D&G didn't just put a "0" on the bottle, I think it would have been interesting && correct, is zero not a number?
I have all nine fragrances from this anthology line and this is probably my favorite out of'em all, probably because this is the only one that is actually for men as marked on the box, so I can wear it without any question as to weather I'm wearing a mens frag or womans, due to my opinion that some of the frags in this unisex line smell very feminine. Good fragrance by d&g anthology.
Le Fou is not marketed as unisex. The box says "Pour Homme" on the front.
I think Le Fou is my favorite of the Anthology series. It's undeniably masculine, yet it can be easily worn by a woman. I love the fresh, aromatic, fern and juniper combination on the top, and I get cognac very strongly well into the drydown.
Notes shown above are incorrect. Should be: Bergamot, Coriander Leaf, Violet Leaf, Cognac, Juniper Berry, Cardamom, Dry Woods, Gingerbread, Tonka Bean.
Why are they still making these? I hope The D&G Velvet Collection is an improvement. Especially priced at $195 at Saks. I found the entire Anthology line to be mediocre. They're all, "ok." However the 11 La Force was above average and the best in my opinion. 21 just wasn't appealing, especially to women. It's time for a new "The One" flanker for men. I've enjoyed them all so far. Gentleman was a bit more interesting however. There's far more effort put into those, than any other Dolce & Gabbana fragrance group. How about a relaunch of By Man and By Woman without reformulation?
D&G Anothology LE FOU 21 is a decidedly masculine fragrance. Very aromatic and woody, with a familiar complement of green and brown elements found in many masculine colognes. When I first applied this composition, it reminded me a bit of Bond no 9 SILVER FACTORY, and I really thought that incense numbered among the notes, but maybe it was an olfactory illusion? In any case, I am thoroughly convinced that the notes list is incomplete, for the cedarish iso-E-Super quality is undeniable here.
I definitely would not say that this composition is "fou" or "crazy" in any way. To my nose, this is a very typical masculine cologne, albeit with pretty big sillage and above average longevity. I surmise that LE FOU would probably too masculine for many women, whom I advise to try before they buy.
The fact that they use Tarot references for the names is a disgrace. Neither bottles nor scents have anything to do with the symbolism of the cards. Le Fou should be a number 0, not 21. They might as well just use the numbers alone. So much could have been done with that concept, but easier to hire three ex-supermodels for an ad compaign that do not represent the idea at all.
Tried it on at Ulta today. I like it. If it's the ginger I'm smelling, it agrees with me. One Hour Later: OK - I still like it, but my eyes don't. Irritating me... on to the next.

It's awesome in that similar to D&G The One kinda way.
That was a surprising discovery for me that Le Fou is a fresher and younger version of... The one for men! It opens with a splash of bracing ginger, of course citrusy, but not so lemony as for example Dior Homme Sport. After that the scent becomes softer and sweeter and begins to remind of a fruity chewing gum. This accord is extremely similar to a base of Dolce & Gabbana The one for men (minus vanilla I should say). Le Fou is not so rich and woody as The One, but for me it is more comfortable (The One is apparently too sweet). The sillage is average (the fragrance stays close to skin though), the longevity is the same or even below average.
I don't like it at all. Ginger ginger and only ginger... :P
I have all 6 of the collection and I cannot wait for these two to come out! This one sounds amazing, as soon as they hit the stores Im buying them both, they sound so good. Does anyone know when they do hit stores?
Can't wait to smell it. I have 4 of the 6 previous scents from the D&G Antology collection. Fern, ginger? Sounds like a winner. Lol
I really hope the ginger and bergamot dont ruin this. The first 6 have been great scents and I want that tradition to continue. The juniper anf fern look promising.
Hope it is better than the prior ones cause they're a bit artificial and constant on the concept of being unisex not as a perfume for both men and women, rather on a concept in which a man can wear a cute feminine perfume as well; great but the quality is sacrificed for the concept.
I'm totally crazy for most of Aromatic Fougeres.
Amazing that unlike most of them this one includes fern.
