Tom Ford Bois Marocain is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Shyamala Maisondieu. Bois Marocain opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Cedar, Cypress, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Vetiver 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'.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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.
