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

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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

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.
