Metal takes center stage with the Métallique fragrance. Since the dawn of time, metal has never ceased to fascinate mankind. Gold is the source of every covetous desire. Steel is used by the greatest builders. It is precisely this fascination with materials that inspired the talented Tom Ford.
Tom Ford is a perfume creator who is fully attuned to current trends yet never settles for simplicity. With him, every new creation is an adventure full of surprises. His new fragrance Métallique is no exception and evokes the scent of precious metals, a genuine challenge in olfactory creation! While its scent is highly contrasted and rich in unexpected ingredients, its bottle instead relies on greater restraint. Clean and design-driven, it is nonetheless very refined and elegant.
Gold as the dominant element of the Métallique bottle
Across every era and civilization, gold is a material that has never ceased to fascinate mankind. The noble and precious metal par excellence, it consists of a pure material, both dazzling and easy to work with. Shining like the sun, gold has been a symbol of power and nobility since antiquity. It is precisely this metal that served as the source of inspiration for the Tom Ford bottle. While the bottle is free of any superfluous detail, it features two entirely gold parts. The first serves to close the bottle and conceals the precious liquid it holds: this is the cap. On its top, Tom Ford's initials are engraved in relief, like an imperial seal. The other gold element of this bottle is a square plate affixed to its front face, bearing the name Métallique, along with the name Tom Ford and the size of the bottle.
Silver, another noble material
Combining two complementary colors, the Tom Ford bottle also relies on silver to stir desire. Indeed, this other precious metal also lends it a rare elegance. Dedicated to the moon and the goddess Artemis, silver has been a sacred material since antiquity. This is precisely why it is used in the making of many pieces of jewelry. By combining these two materials, Tom Ford echoes the name of his fragrance, Métallique, while playing on contrasts and nobility.
The clean, cylindrical shape of the Tom Ford bottle
Finally, the other constitutive element of this fragrance is its shape itself. Métallique goes straight to the essential and forgoes any embellishment. It consists of two cylinders stacked one on top of the other. The first, larger one, holds the fragrance itself. Silver in color, it is simply decorated with a gold plate. Above it, a smaller cylinder serves as its cap. Tom Ford chose a round shape simply to contrast with the coldness of the materials. On one hand, gold and silver are cold materials. On the other, the cylinder evokes generosity, softness, and roundness. Thus, the bottle of Métallique achieves a perfect balance.
