The story behind the bottle.
Bois Marocain by Tom Ford, launched in 2009 and crafted by Shyamala Maisondieu, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of Moroccan landscapes. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes, leading to an aromatic heart before settling into a smoky and warm amber base. It’s neither overtly masculine nor feminine, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
Apply Bois Marocain lightly — its smoky base notes build gradually on the skin. The fresh spicy top notes are fleeting but impactful, so it’s best to let the woody warmth carry through the day.
