Tom Ford Arabian Wood

Woody, green, floral, aromatic, and earthy.

Key Fragrance Notes: Patchouli, Lavender, Galbanum, Bulgarian Rose, Orris, Cedarwood

Arabian Wood opens with lavender and galbanum for an aromatic green bitterness before Bulgarian rose gives the center a polished floral softness. Patchouli introduces earthy depth while orris adds a dry powdery texture beneath the flowers. Cedarwood gives the base a firm woody structure without making the fragrance sweet or creamy. The result is elegant and chypre-like, balancing herbs, green resinous facets, rose, iris, earth, and dry woods rather than the heavy oud or spice its name might suggest.

Summary

Arabian Wood is a discontinued woody-chypre Eau de Parfum with a green, floral, and earthy character rather than the dense spice suggested by its name. Lavender and galbanum create an aromatic slightly bitter opening before Bulgarian rose softens the center. Patchouli and orris give the drydown earthy and powdery texture, while cedarwood provides firm structure. The result is elegant, dry, and composed rather than sweet, suited to shoppers drawn to green florals, patchouli, iris, and classic woods. Its character is closer to a polished chypre than to a heavy oud or amber fragrance.

About the Brand

Tom Ford Beauty extends the American designer’s luxury aesthetic into fragrance, cosmetics, and grooming, with perfumes spanning signature scents and the more specialized Private Blend collection. The fragrance house is known for bold material-led compositions and polished sensuality across woods, leather, tobacco, florals, amber, spice, citrus, fruit, and gourmand themes. Arabian Wood shows a greener, more classically structured side of that vocabulary than its name might imply. Lavender, galbanum, Bulgarian rose, patchouli, orris, and cedarwood create an aromatic floral-chypre profile built on bitter greenery, earth, powder, and dry woods. Its restrained old-world elegance demonstrates how Tom Ford’s material-first approach can produce sophistication without heavy sweetness, oud, or smoky density.
