Arabian Wood

Arabian Wood by Tom Ford (2009) is a unisex woody chypre that opens with a dense, almost overwhelming list of top notes: woodsy notes, oakmoss, Bulgarian and May rose, galbanum, lavender, honey, patchouli, jasmine, cedar, gardenia, bergamot, freesia, ylang-ylang, tonka bean, orange blossom, sandalwood, amber, and orris. In practice, the opening is a green, mossy rose over dry woods, with a honeyed patchouli undertow. The heart and base are not separately listed, but the main accords tell the story: woody at 100%, then white floral, floral, mossy, rose, and earthy. This is a classic chypre structure—bitter green galbanum and oakmoss, a bouquet of roses and white flowers, and a warm, resinous base. It suits collectors who appreciate vintage-style chypres and unisex fragrances with a strong mossy-woody character. Not for those who dislike oakmoss or dense florals. Longevity and sillage are typically strong; best for cool weather and evening wear.
