Lorenzo Pazzaglia Fôm is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Lorenzo Pazzaglia. Fôm opens with Whisky, Bergamot, Elemi, and Rum, settles into a heart of Birch Tar and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Oud, and Oakmoss. Lorenzo Pazzaglia's Fôm carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive doesn't even begin to cover Fôm. It's either an unparalleled masterpiece of dark, boozy leather or an instant trip to barf-city. There's no middle ground, so sample first, unless you fancy a very expensive gamble.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Formal

Given its enormous sillage and eternal longevity, Fôm is far too assertive for the office or casual daytime wear. It's best reserved for night-time occasions like dates or formal events where its powerful, dark character can truly shine without overwhelming the room.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Fôm opens with a potent, boozy hit of whisky and rum, deepened by a sticky, rich caramel and a hint of bright bergamot. This gives way to a truly commanding heart of birch tar, lending a smoky, almost charred leather aroma, with labdanum adding a resinous, animalic depth. The dry down is an intoxicating blend of rugged leather, dark oud, and earthy oakmoss, underpinned by a warm, balsamic myrrh, settling into a long-lasting, complex finish.
