Tom Ford Arabian Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Arabian Wood opens with Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Lavender, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Woody, Amber, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Tom Ford's Arabian Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't your typical Arabian wood scent. Expect a complex, shape-shifting floral chypre with a distinctly soapy, green edge. It's divisive, often compared to vintage classics and definitely not for those expecting an oud bomb.

About

Arabian Wood unfolds with a vibrant green burst thanks to galbanum, swiftly intertwined with a lush bouquet of rose, jasmine, and orange blossom. A honeyed sweetness softens the florals, preventing them from becoming too sharp. As it settles, a clean, almost soapy woodiness emerges from the cedar and sandalwood, grounded by a cool, earthy oakmoss and patchouli, with a hint of aromatic lavender adding a refined, almost aftershave-like crispness that lingers.
