Respectable woody fragrance from Tom Ford

Tom Ford has by no means been wowing over the last couple of years, and while Bois Pacifique may not be the most inventive fragrance of theirs, it's far better than many of their other recent releases. At it's simplest, Bois Pacifique is basically a woodier version of Myrrhe Mystere, which is honestly a good thing. It shares a lot of Myrrhe Mystere's resinous DNA, especially in the dry down, but the added woody notes help balance the sweetness/thickness that the resin notes can have at times. There is a bit of a sharp zing to this in the opening, which I didn't get the first couple of times wearing this, but became more prominent the more I got to know this fragrance. I think that this fragrance is a much easier wear than Myrrhe Mystere as well, as this is not as heavy or cloying, though it does not perform as well as the former, which is certainly a caveat.

While inventiveness is not exactly in the cards for Bois Pacifique, it is certainly a great fragrance that is far more enjoyable, and far better priced as well, than many of the other current Tom Ford offerings. It's a very solid resinous-woody fragrance that is easy to pick up and get to know, while still having enough character to set itself out from others.

Iso E + Akigalaaa new wave age fragrances!

Its nice but too ephemeral! Its so thin on the skin and disappears quickly!
Also, this has nothing to do with almighty Gucci Pour Homme 1. Wich is very different. Gucci is much smokyer, like real cedar and olibanum, with dark/gothic nuances, with a much warmer, waxy balsamic and heavy profile!
This is a decent Iso E + new wave of Akigalawood usage in modern parfumery.

I really liked it

I got this as a free sample on Facebook.

I really liked the fragrance. I have always said that one of my favorite smells is the scent of dry pine needles, wood, and sand that we get during the summer in my home country of Spain. Since I moved to the USA (Illinois) for work, I have missed this smell.
The first spray of this fragrance transports me there, to that smell, although it is not quite accurate. It is slightly too spicy and not dry enough for that. Perhaps, this is what the pine forests of the Pacific coast smell like.
I can't quite decide whether the incense is too strong or not strong enough - it strangely seems to vary for me.
However, as others have said, it lasts too short. I spray this on in the morning, and after lunch it is barely noticeable.
I wouldn't buy a full bottle at retail price, as I don't find it super versatile.

Really nice

Tested it now for 2 days and I love the smell. The opening is nice but the mid and dry down are divine.

Unfortunately the performance is not good enough for me and also I get a bit of an headache if I over spray.

So I probably won't buy a full bottle although I love the scent :(

I hope the perfume version will fix these issues.

#theywoodmodernartwood

Here is a new one from Tom Ford - in the grooved cylindrical bottle that is now used for the Signature Blends instead of the old one, which are priced somewhat more closely than the Private Blends - that breaks a little with Ford's established DNA or develops it further in a direction that is a little unexpected. As so often before, he makes use of a central accord - in this case balsamic woods - exaggerates it, turns up the volume, as it were, and builds a more or less iconic, one could also say 'broad-legged' fragrance around it. The former is certainly true of Bois Pacifique - although the interpretation of the woods is surprising, more on that in a moment - but it lacks any broad-leggedness and that American 'manspreading' that Ford aficionados (including me, despite all the grumbling in between) love so much about the label's fragrances.

Here's one that could just as easily have come from the pen of Dsquared² (hence the invented hashtag in the title, because that's what they often called their woody fragrances) - or Comme des Garçons'. Bois Pacifique is a synthetically conceived and produced woody fragrance of at most medium strength and persistence - a kind of halfling in Tom Ford's portfolio - which can be considered an epitome of everything that constitutes contemporary perfume: the simultaneous exaltation as well as synthesization of an accord (Akigalawood is not the extract of a wood, but an artificial fragrance note derived from patchouli oil), a product like an olfactory installation in a gallery of (post-)modern art - and unisex in the sense of non-binary aesthetics beyond traditional patterns of scent and thought: highly contemporary and as an academically consistent extract of the now not intended for a generation, but for a season or even two.

Conclusion: I realize that the same attributes I used in the previous sections - synthetic, zeitgeisty and comparatively less concise and persistent - could easily have been used to construct a spoiler. Why didn't I do that and why do I actually like this new Tom Ford, even - as a hypothetical idea - consider buying it? Is it just infatuation and nostalgic loyalty to the Ford label, is it really little more than new emperor's clothes? I quote Tolkien's Gandalf, who, when asked by the Elvish high priestess Galadriel: 'Why the halfling?', replies: 'I don't know. (...) Perhaps it is because I am afraid. And he gives me courage...'
