Tom Ford Bois Pacifique EDP

Description

Tom Ford Bois Pacifique is a spiced-woody signature scent built around Akigalawood, an oud-inspired aromachemical, layered with cardamom and turmeric. Launched in Tom Ford's core Signature collection in 2024, it opens with a fizzy, peppery spice before settling into a smoky heart of frankincense, oak, and cedar, rounded out by white sandalwood and iris. Reviewers describe it evolving from a "spicy-fizzy burst" into a "creamy woody-amber finish", closer in spirit to a modern niche wood scent than a classic Tom Ford Private Blend.

FAQ

Is Bois Pacifique part of Tom Ford's Private Blend line?
No. It's part of the more widely available Signature collection, so you'll find it at Tom Ford's mainstream retail partners, not just Tom Ford boutiques.

What is Akigalawood?
It's a modern aromachemical designed to mimic the smoky, woody character of agarwood (oud) without using real agarwood. It gives Bois Pacifique its distinctive smoky-woody opening.

Is Bois Pacifique a unisex fragrance?
Venba lists it as formulated for men, though its woody-spicy profile is worn by many regardless of gender.

How long does a Bois Pacifique sample last?
A 1mL sample (filled to a 2mL vial) typically gives 3 to 5 full wears, enough to track how it moves from the spiced opening to the woody-amber drydown.
