Fougère d'Argent, by Tom Ford, opens on lavender, ginger and mandarin. The heart and base bring together amber labdanum, woody and spicy Akigalawood®, and coumarin with a blond tobacco facet.
Lavender, fresh and floral, occupies the top alongside ginger and mandarin; these last two share a tonic quality that sets them apart from the more floral lavender.
Labdanum and Akigalawood® share the heart: one evokes amber, the other wood, but both give off the same warmth that draws them together.
Coumarin, between dry hay and dry straw, marks the base of this composition.
