Bois Marocain

Green Bush (Cypress) + Green Pine Needle + White Vanilla + Bourbon Rum + dark smoky Incense + Pink Pepper + Bergamot citrus + smallest touch of Cinnamon + spicy Cedar Re-released TF fragrance. Fresh, Pine-green spicy aromatic, with a touch of addicting gourmand notes. This is a really great fragrance for the scent genre!! But...This dna is what was hip-popular in the 1990's, with hits like Chanel 'Egoist' and Hugo 'Green'. You can argue that the scent is timeless, but is slowly becoming what an older man and newer grandpas are smelling like because of what era this scent genre is from. Personally, i love this scent genre, but never wear it because im obsessed with the idea of smelling like next-gen head-turning dna's. The note of Bergamot oddly comes out in the mid dry-down, pleasantly brightening the dark notes and giving the dna a refreshing citrus acid and sweetness note which is really enjoyable! There is also the smallest hint of cinnamon of a note that reveals itself in the mid as well, that is now starting to transform this dna as really delicious. The fact that this fragrance is changing in the drydown and having notes that are traditionally found in the opening, but here actually are coming out in the mid drydown instead is an indicator that this perfumer is technically talented! In the Bottom end dryoff, a spicy cedarwood is revealing itself to be the base of this fragrance. As a skin scent, this lasted the entire day! What makes Bois Marocain different and really really good is the other notes added to it's dna where the others are lacking, including that White Vanillin, Bourbon Rum and dark smoky Incense. It's taking the genre to another level in a good way, it gives the dna an addicting feeling where you want to keep going back into it to get more hits of whiffs. Im in love with Chanel 'Egoist' and Hugo 'Green' from my childhood, it was the first fragrance that i purchased and it made me feel sexy af confident even as a kid! But i have to admit, even tho Hugo 'Green' is a monster projector, but because of the additional notes found in Bois Marocain, it is now my favorite fragrance in the scent genre - it's that good! Dated dna, but a really good one! It's like a 're-imagined' creation of it's scent genre. As others have stated, projection and longevity performace is poor - just like the majority of TF fragrances today. On the paper blotter in the store, this was nothing special. On skin this is a fabulous dna!! This is so fucking addicting good!! <3 This is going to be one of those forever slept-on fragrances. 4/5 Woofs!

Bois Marocain a complex master piece. Definitely not mass appealing and will definitely not have girls running after you , to tell you, how sexy you smell! No! This is more of a private and personal scent. This scent is more of a Nostalgia scent. It brings back memories with images of the memories you had in the past. This scent can even make you cry or give you goose bumps. This scent to me smells like going into an old house by water, somewhere humid and tropical.It smells like an old wet/moist wood or a boat. Smells like an old attic in a humid place.This smell specifically reminds me of a Swiss old house in Tessin by water. Also reminds me of the villas in north of Iran by the Caspian sea. As I am writing this and smelling this amazing fragrance with a soft ambient music in the background, I can feel the tears in my eyes. How fast time went by and what a beautiful childhood memories I had and this scent was all around me. Opening of this scent is peppery and cypressy.I also smell Thuja leaves emit a pleasant smell which is somewhat like that of crushed Eucalyptus leaves, but sweeter.There is definitely incense in here but after all these smells are gone at the end there is this funky animalic smell which is the base smell. I don't know what it is, but it definitely gives the main character to this fragrance which makes a lot of people not like it, but I love it and I agree, it is not sexy. But it damn well smells expensive and high class. Very high class. As far as performance goes, it definitely not beastly like other Tom Ford private blend but good enough. Projection is amazing for the first hour and then becomes a skin scent. If you are a true fragrance lover you will definitely like this, but you have to try this. Try it with a rested and clear nose. Don't smell anything else before you smell this. Again a master piece.

This is my favorite of Tom Ford's line. Many of his others in the tobacco-wood-leather family have recognizable vanilla, which always becomes cloyingly sweet on my skin. I will not suffer smelling like a batch of cookies that some 8-year old just baked. Those are for eating, not smearing on our decolletage. On my skin, this always smells of cedar, top-notch patchouli, pine, incense, pepper. Imagine walking into a hot, dry sauna with a hint of heady incense/warmed patchouli hovering so deep in your sinuses that it feels like you are being lifted from the center of your skull. Some have called this scent a bit plain, but I like it specifically because it's not trying to do too much--it's not trying to attract questions from strangers or looks in the street or unoriginal commentary at parties. It is, to me, a scent that is good for someone whose other traits dominate first. I wear this scent--not the other way around. I would like to think that the sillage is intentional. I like to wear this when I'm out for an evening with with one of my lovers. It becomes noticeable when someone is quite close to you, and can actually smell your skin in addition to the perfume. It is certainly less interesting from a distance. This scent is really at its best up close, heated by blood, mixed with the smell of skin. It's simultaneously clean, smoky, heady, sophisticated, raw, earthy, and spicy. This fragrance could be worn by someone of any gender, and beautifully compliments androgyny. It is one of my absolute favorites!

This is a review for MOROCCAN GREEN by JUST JACK, a fragrance inspired by TF Bois Marocain: (this review will be here deleted and copied on JJ Moroccan Green's page as soon as it will be created) A stunning spicy incense and cypress fragrance, with cedar, resins and vetiver support in the base. This reminds me a bit of Lalique Encre Noire a' L'Extreme and Nishane B612. I have never smelt TF Bois Marocain (the one it is inspired from), but according to what I read from reviews of the BM, it seems pretty much spot-on. The performance is on the lower side (but so seems to be the TF). But honestly, I don;t feel the need to smell the TF, as this one is really a beautiful fragrance taken on its own, that compete very well with many other woody incense fragrances I own... at $20 for a 100ml pop, it's a no-brainer! Just 4/5 stars, as I wish it projected more. Just Jack? No... Just beautiful! Colder days, 30+

A dark, slightly bitter chypre infused with vetiver and smoky resinous woods. Bois Marocain starts off with a blast of bitter bergamot, spices, smoke and cypress. Thuja soon creeps its head in giving the composition a touch of aromatherapy complexity - comforting and almost eucalyptic. I must admit this part can be challenging to some, as it can remind you of a day at the spa, but give this fragrance time to sort itself out as the dry down is where this beauty really shines. The spices combined with the smoke and woody green elements are so refined, I can't help myself but feel luxurious wearing this. There's definitely more going on here than the notes suggest as I'm detecting mahogany, cashmeran, most definitely some other kind of wood. Overall this could be a cross of French Lover and Italian Cypress, so if you're a fan of either of those, you'll indeed love this one. Simply a work of art.

I started out thinking, hmmm, my first disappointment with Tom Ford's woody fragrances. Particle board. But 20 minutes later it was a whole different story. That's what I love about perfume--my first impressions are never accurate, and that's what makes it fun! Bois Marocain starts out with a strong, aromatic cedar note, which seemed rather linear for some time. Once it developed on my skin, the depth became apparent as it took on more cypress/juniper/pepper. It became far more dry and masculine than I ever expected it to be. I am a huge fan of woody fragrances as well as spice, but this might even be a tad too masculine for my personal wear. Nevertheless, I think it's a glorious woody fragrance. I respect Tom Ford's woody perfumes the way I respect Le Labo's. Amazing quality and totally worth the price.

Just heard that BM discountinued, shame! When I first got batch of PB line samples, I tried Bois Marocain once, and it didn't leave me much thoughts about this scent. Today I happened to pick it up again and got really suprised by it. Bois Marocain is a big woody incense one. To me, it smells more santalwood than cedra, and often reminds me of 10 Corso Como - BM just drier, more incense and less sweet. when reaches the body phrase, it really gives me the impression of being in the asian temples, very quiet and surrounded by incense. it just makes me fell into meditation while I'm in a bus on the busiest and most noisy road in Beijing!

I have the original and just received the new (2022) re release, it’s not as strong as the original. To my imperfect nose it is the same composition only watered down – actually I might suggest that some of the sweeter notes from Santal Blush has been incorporated into the original composition, but just a little. So now we have spectrum in this new trio from the sweetest offering (Santal Blush) to harshest (Ebene Fume) with Bois Marocain sitting in the middle between the two. A beautiful fragrance it is ladies and gents, total class in a glass. Incense dominant cypress aromatic.

Wow. Tom Ford scents are hard to come by here. Now I've got some samples, and it's a whole new world. An amazing one, and worthy to explore. Now what I am certain about is... Tom Ford's scent world is an acquired taste. I've tried some niches already, they are rapturing, so many of them blew my mind and transported me into a most amazing and exciting world full of beauty... but none of them turned my world so upside down as this house. An acquired taste indeed, and I'm working on understanding it.

This to me is a light oud scent, one that reminds me vey much of Al Oudh by L'Artisan, except that BM is more woody than spicy. Still, the vibe after 2-3 hours, is the same on my skin. I love them both, I find them very wearable scents, and this one is even softer and smoother. Lasting power is very good, more than 8 hours, but for that price, I'll go for the cheaper Al Oudh instead.

A beautiful composition. Unfortunately it keeps too close to the skin and doesn't last very long. And since it's becoming more and more scarce, I have to recommend Bois d'Encens by Armani Privé as a very good alternative. It's slightly more acrid, but the vibe is very much the same, and the projection/longevity are definitely superior.

This has grown to be one of my very favorite fragrances, and I was DEVASTATED to learn today that it has been discontinued! I don't find it too masculine, but it is a strong smoky forest/incense, so if you don't want that, look the other way! To me, I think it is beyond gorgeous...

I love this scent. I layer it with tam Dao EDT and I am wrapped in a sweet, spicy, sultry, woody, incense goodness. This is one of my favorite fall scents. It's very mystical on me. It sits close to the skin. Longevity disappointed me, my cool/dry skin ate it up in 4 hours.

Never smelled the original or other reformations, but just got this yesterday and I do love it. A slightly coniferous but very dry woody incense is right up my alley. Performance is ok, scent is great. I don’t mind applying often but definitely have to get a bigger bottle.

If the projection was better, this would probably be my favorite PB. The bright citrus with the woody accord is gorgeous. The Thuja can be a bit medicinal at times. This is truly an original scent, you're not going to find many things smelling like this.

Truly wonderful, dry, spicy woody scent from the PB collection. So very sad it had been discontinued. Also a bit of a shame it was underrated in comparison to the big hitters of the line.

Like it but does disappear fast. Did notice an earthy note. Straight unisex. Need to wear it on the body core for a day for correct reflection.

love this one. actually whole range by Tom Ford is my fav. very unique and expensive perfumes. Exclusive. Love this one as well

This was the first woody fragrance I fell in love with. It’s perfection.

Tom Ford Bois Marocain is re-released in 2016 as part of a private reserve after being discontinued and hard to come by, so I'm happy to try this rendition even if it deviates from the original that I never sampled. It's a predictably dominated by woods, despite a mix of earthy elements as well--some cite pine as the dominant note but to my nose the woods themselves are a mix of the pine, cedar, and cypress, the smoothness of the cedar evening out some of the sharpess of the cypress and acidity of the pine. It's a nice mix, that when combined with the supporting notes of patchouli and vetiver becomes earthy and with incense becomes a solid winter experience, a slightly green yet significantly darker sibling to the other recent release of Vert Des Bois, my slight favorite of the Vert trio that I tried. Performance seems to have been a criticism from its first incarnation, rare for the original private blends generally exalted for their power, and I can't help but come to the same conclusion. Bois Marocain is unimpressive on both projection and longevity. It never jumped off the skin very much upon application and a couple hours in, it's faded a lot. The pricing of $330 for 50ml is even higher than the increased Neroli Portofino Forte pricing of $290 for 50ml, so you really need to love this in order to contemplate buying this. Overall, I feel roughly the same about Bois Marocain as I do about Oud Wood, a very nice wood-centric mostly-masculine fragrance but not one I love nor particularly intend to buy. Italian Cypress remains the best woody fragrance of the house. 7 out of 10
