Very helpful Review 10  
It smelled of incense, wood, and conflict
Once again too much text for a statement.
I always try so hard to keep my thoughts brief, because all I want to say is:
Between fresh soap and resin on the hands.
Between ground and footwear, the fallen leaves, the damp earth, dead rock.
In a suit through the quiet forest in the middle of the night. Incense, tobacco, tranquility.
It’s not cold enough to freeze, but cool enough to think clearly.

For a moment you smell Terre d'Hermès, in the next Cacharel pour l'Homme.
Then everything is different again.
Incense wherever you smell.
Cedarwood and tobacco make the scent very masculine.
Fougère Platine is not sweet, not pleasing, not always understandable to outsiders.
Related to Fougère d'Argent, but not so easily charming.
At least not at first glance.
Fougère Platine is more direct, woodier, smokier than its brother. Fougère d'Argent never takes off its suit.
Fougère Platine sometimes looks better in it.
Instead of lavender, there is wood and incense.
I like both.

“Fougere Platine” is a creamy fougere, steel gray and not very natural. Bayer meets Cyprus, Wall Street meets ebony, forest on concrete. But most of the time, I like it. Until it eventually gets on my nerves. But that takes a while. A gray panther. An old boy, a silent scream.

A delicately marbled cedar cream meets green moss spots. Definitely an upscale perfume for me. Subtly smoky, dignified, artificial modesty. Maybe even dementia. Who knows. In any case, Tom Ford has more better scents than worse ones in his portfolio than this one. However, fougeres do have a magnetic pull on me, which is why I had to test it, even giving it precedence over illustrious names like “Lost Cherry” or “F*cking Fabulous.” But unfortunately, this synthetic fougere doesn’t play in that weight class. Not even close.

Delicate, gray, green, classic, creamy. Cedar, moss, minimal incense. There’s not much more to it. Well stirred and mixed. Fine blend. But still quite plain, boring, and after a certain period, even slightly bitter, piercing, and dull. Not a good last third. Everything before that is simple and solid. “Platinum Egoiste” meets something like “Lavender Palm,” just with cedar and other light woods. Could also be a Comme des Garçons. Just without their edge and creativity. Here it feels smoother, greener, and more sophisticated. Calculated and the opposite of wild and passionate. Cool warmth. Almost a bit robotic. The suit scent of an A.I.?

Bottle: the epitome of modern, cool elegance. Tom Ford could hardly have done it better. Perhaps THE bottles that have defined this century so far. Despite their price and often perceived aloofness.
Sillage: office-appropriate and, as is often the case with TF, not totally quiet. The man is not one for the sidelines. And neither are his perfumes. This one is clearly “discreet” for him.
Longevity: 7-9 hours was enough for me - although I generally really like this silver cedar eminence.

Conclusion: a fougere with gray hair and a lot of experience. Chemistry lab meets business class, creamy meets artificial and (quickly) bitter. Forced cool. Rarely seen at Ford...

Dry smoky woods wrapped in a sharply green clary sage. In the same vein as FM French Lover but a bit rougher around the edges. Decent.

I like it more than F. D'Argent, but not as much as BDJ. Try if BDJ is too herbaceous/floral for you. Has a weird celery-like note I don't like.

It's 1966: Men want a bright green, alcoholic fougère with spicy tobacco notes: modern and traditional at the same time!

Strong lavender-sage opening. Still fresh, cool, and understated. Then it settles into a dry earthy scent reminiscent of Noire Anthrazite.

Cool, smoky opening that transitions into a green, slightly citrusy woody fougère. I like it, but the incense could linger a bit longer.

Really great cedar base note. But the journey there is scary and not enjoyable. Too green, too sweet woods in the heart note.

Not listed but has an oak moss vibe. Modern fougère. A dream in green.

Sweet herb on dry wood: almost chocolaty, yet cooling, quite a bit of acidity, delicately powdery, tea-like. It would tire me out in the long run. OK.

Wild green opening fades into smoky-woody realms with a hint of tobacco. A harsher, lighter, and inferior brother of VdB.
