Tom Ford has launched Fougère d’Argent, a new fragrance in the Private Blend range.
Fougère d’Argent is a bold reimagining of the classic fougère, a structure that traditionally revolves around lavender, oakmoss, and coumarin. With oakmoss no longer available, Tom Ford has re-worked the model in a provocative manner, substituting moss with Akigalawood, a Givaudan captive derived from patchouli that has a wonderfully spicy, woodsy bitterness. What emerges from Ford’s confident handling is a scent that smells truly masculine – earthy, herbaceous, and rich, with a radiantly spiced muskiness that billows around its wearer.
Additional notes include mandarin, ginger, lavender, cistus and coumarin.
Tom Ford Fougère d’Argent is available now at Luckyscent, in 50 ($230) and 250 ($595) ml Eau de Parfum.

I actually appreciate the clarity here about how they are trying to create the oakmoss. I doubt it’s one for me, but I so wish we knew what was in the perfumes we wear more often. (Not that this gives more than an indication!)
I have mixed feelings — having to memorize the names of all these captive moleules is a pain!
Ha true enough – and I won’t even try to be honest.
