The notes of Bois Pacifique, Tom Ford Beauty's new fragrance
Cardamom, Akigalawood, and turmeric come together in a woody-spicy blend that instantly evokes a sensuality expressed with serene lightness. With the essence of frankincense and orris butter, the mind wanders into the grandeur of nature. The forest of Bois Pacifique is reflected in the notes of sandalwood, cedar, and oak. These majestic woods are illuminated by streaks of impressive sunlight radiating from a horizon full of promise.
A collaboration between the perfumer and artificial intelligence
Tom Ford’s artistic talent and uncompromising sensitivity are pushed beyond the limits of possibility with pioneering artificial intelligence technology. AI provides the perfumer with precise insights during the experimentation process. For Bois Pacifique, the visionary collaboration between the perfumer and AI resulted in an unparalleled balance of the woody facets, giving the fragrance a rich and penetrating luminosity. This groundbreaking innovation captures the grandeur of the Big Sur coastline in California.
