Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; Fleur de Maté promises mate but delivers heaps of dark, earthy patchouli, with some finding it a sophisticated older vibe and others questioning its value for money. It's a divisive scent that won't please everyone.
