Bois Marocain

by Shyamala Maisondieu

Tom Ford Bois Marocain is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Shyamala Maisondieu. Bois Marocain settles into a heart of Vetiver, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Patchouli. Tom Ford's Bois Marocain carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Bois Marocain is a beautiful, evocative woody incense that's sadly let down by its dismal performance, especially the later reformulations. It's truly a "try before you buy" situation, as the scent profile proves divisive, ranging from 'stunning' to 'morning breath'.

Best Seasons

Best For:

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its woody and smoky profile, combined with generally poor longevity and intimate projection, makes it unsuitable for vigorous activity. It leans towards more sophisticated settings, like formal events or dates, where its subtle and elegant character can be appreciated without being overpowering.

About

Step into a deep, dark forest where cypress and cedar rise tall, their boughs heavy with the scent of green leaves and resin. A cool incense smoke twists through the air, softened by earthy vetiver and patchouli. Bright flashes of bergamot and a biting kick of pink pepper cut through the wood, adding a lively spark to the otherwise solemn, aromatic composition.
