Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fougère Platine EDP
Tom Ford's Fougère Platine is a polarising, discontinued gem. Lovers laud its unique, modern twist on the classic fougère, praising its metallic sheen and nuanced blend. Haters find it too bitter, metallic, or simply 'paint-like.' Whatever you think, it's definitely not boring.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Platinum Fern EDP
A wallet-friendly run at Tom Ford's Fougere Platine. The metallic clary-sage and lavender-fougere skeleton is recognisable, but Platinum Fern renders it flatter and softer - the honeyed tobacco drydown arrives quicker and fades sooner than the glittering original.
