Fougère Platine

by Olivier Gillotin , Linda Song

Tom Ford Fougère Platine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Olivier Gillotin and Linda Song. Fougère Platine opens with Lavender, Basil, Clary Sage, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Labdanum, Honey, Artemisia, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Woody, Cedar, and Tobacco. Tom Ford's Fougère Platine carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

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.

About

Fougère Platine opens with an invigorating, almost metallic blast of fresh lavender, clary sage, and basil, underscored by a bright bergamot lift. This verdant accord quickly deepens into a sophisticated heart of resinous labdanum and frankincense, warmed by a subtle honeyed sweetness and a distinct herbal artemisia. The dry-down reveals a refined blend of dry, woody cedar and a hint of green, earthy tobacco, lending a masculine depth without weighing it down. It's a journey from herbaceous freshness to a warm, woody embrace.
