Tom Ford Fougère d’Argent is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Olivier Gillotin and Linda Song. Fougère d’Argent opens with Mandarin, Lavender, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Akigalawood and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Coumarin. Tom Ford's Fougère d’Argent carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Tom Ford's Fougère d'Argent is a divisive beast: some hail it as the ultimate modern fougère, a masterpiece of masculine elegance, while others find it merely pleasant, overpriced, or even, well, a bit like toothpaste. It's discontinued, of course, adding to its allure.

About

Fougère d'Argent opens with a brisk, aromatic lavender brightened by a zing of ginger and mandarin. This fresh, spicy kick quickly settles into a sophisticated heart of rich labdanum and the unique woody-spicy nuance of Akigalawood. The dry-down is a creamy, warm embrace of coumarin, providing a refined sweetness that balances the traditional fougère structure with a modern, elegant twist. It's a classy barbershop scent, but elevated.
