Tom Ford launched Bois Pacifique in January 2025 in its Signature collection, more widely distributed and less expensive than the Private Blends. Now Smell This announced it as early as December 2024, and the house presents it as a woody spicy scent made of earthy woods and invigorating spices.
A Givaudan fragrance
Rodrigo Flores-Roux, a Givaudan perfumer, composed it, and the house had him talk about his creation alongside Helen Murphy, who heads fragrance development at Tom Ford Beauty. The Fragrance Foundation also credits Adriana Medina.
In 2025, the Fragrance Foundation, in the United States, named it Fragrance of the Year in the men’s luxury category, an award the house displays on its page. The fragrance comes as an eau de parfum in fifty and one hundred milliliters.
A forest in the sun
The house speaks of a journey toward endless freedom and vitality: cardamom evokes a sunlit radiance, and the Bois Pacifique forest, made of sandalwood, cedar and oak, is lit by streaks of light from a promising horizon.

The advertising
John David Washington in Big Sur
Actor John David Washington, photographed by David Sims, sets off as a traveling writer through Big Sur to the redwoods.
Tom Ford unveiled the campaign in January 2025: actor John David Washington, nominated at the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards for BlacKkKlansman, became the face of the fragrance. The images and film, by British photographer David Sims, were released starting January 21.
The campaign tells the journey of a writer: Washington immerses himself in the landscapes of Big Sur, in California, drawn by the promise of creative freedom, all the way to the ancient redwoods where he finds himself. The house sees in it the drive of fearless self-expression.
