The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, Bois Marocain by Tom Ford is crafted by perfumer Shyamala Maisondieu and embodies the essence of a modern, sophisticated scent. It opens with pink pepper and black pepper, creating an immediate sense of freshness and spiciness that cuts through the air. This aromatic punch leads into a heart of juniper and bergamot, which adds a layer of green and citrusy brightness. The base notes feature woody elements like cedar, sandalwood, patchouli, and vetiver, grounding the composition with warmth and depth.
Apply two sprays to ensure the initial spiciness is balanced by the deeper woody base. This fragrance develops best close to skin, so avoid over-spraying in open spaces. It's perfect for a day out or a night on the town, as it evolves subtly throughout the hours.
