It’s one of the three or four most beautiful scents in perfumery. It’s elegant, seductive, clean, and distinctive. I have no doubt: I value the aroma above longevity or projection, but it must last a minimum of two or three hours. In this case, there’s no trace after an hour. Buying it today is a mistake with Carved Oud by Thameen on the market. I’m not a fan of clones, but I’ve heard some that match it in quality and surpass it in longevity.
You’re obliged to wear this with a suit; it smells very refined thanks to those soft woods. The downside is the longevity and projection: I wore it to a wedding and after the first hour, everyone else’s scent overpowered mine, even women’s perfumes. I’m not saying it lasts an hour, but if someone else is nearby with a perfume, forget about being detected, not even by yourself. For the price, it’s better to buy a clone that actually lasts, even if the ingredients are luxurious.
It smells good but has unjustified hype. It smells like soap with exquisite woods, but its projection and longevity are poor: one hour of projection and between four and five hours of longevity depending on skin pH. It’s disappointing; they should remove it from the Private line and price it like Ombré Leather or Costa Azzurra, which are better fragrances. At the current price, it’s not worth it.
It smells delicious, very rich… but it’s absurdly expensive for what you get. It doesn’t last at all and the sillage is poor. I prefer the clone that costs €40 and works much better.
I tried it in 2014 and today it smells totally different. Does it smell good or bad? I’m not sure; I don’t even notice if I like it… This new version lasts two hours tops and that’s it. Some say it’s my skin, but no; even on blotting paper, there’s nothing left after four hours, unlike other fragrances from the brand. My girlfriend didn’t notice it either. That soapy, extraordinary aroma from before has disappeared, leaving me indifferent. Eau de parfum? Definitely not; it’s more like Eau de air. What a pity.
I’d wear it every day! It’s perfect; I mix it with Terre d’Hermès and have never felt as comfortable with anything else.
Oud Wood smells lovely: dry, clean woods, well-made, with none of that usual dense oud. To me, it smells like a wooden cabin with freshly laundered sheets. It’s unisex. They say it doesn’t last long, and they’re right; it lasts less than two hours on the skin and costs a fortune.
It’s a top-tier balsamic woody scent if you like woods, but don’t expect magic as it fades quickly. The oud isn’t dirty; with vetiver and cardamom, it comes across as clean and sophisticated, reminding me of Encre Noire. The drawback is the longevity: at best two or three hours, even with many sprays. It doesn’t detract from the quality, but it’s a letdown for such an expensive perfume.
I don’t understand why people complain about the longevity; I can still smell it on me all day.
I ordered a decant and it smells like a dentist’s clinic; plus, the longevity is ridiculous.
Oud Wood opens with woody notes, oud, and spices that give a pricking sensation. The oud is perceived as light and in no way animalic or dark; however, it is a synthetic oud that lacks the woody intensity of other types. Personally, I find a certain resemblance to the oud in Penhaligon’s Halfeti. In the dry down, cardamomo stands out, accompanied by pepper and rosewood. During the first 20 minutes, it feels soapy, elegant, and clean, yet at the same time a bit dirty due to the oud and rosewood. This contrast between clean and dirty is peculiar, making it special and distinctive. In the dry down, the spicy part diminishes, giving way to a more woody and slightly balsamic sensation. The wood scent is dusty, slightly dark, but the oud adds a wet wood appearance, transporting you to an old house with wooden furniture and an ‘old money’ aesthetic. As hours pass, amber and vanilla become the protagonists, although woods and cardamomo remain perceptible. It is not long-lasting; it lasts about 4 to 6 hours with intermediate projection.
Oud Wood opens with very good woody notes; the first thing you feel is the oud, which I would describe as a cold oud, quite good. It is a perfume that doesn’t project much; you won’t fill a room if you wear it. Once dried, it smells very sweet and good close to the skin. It’s a good perfume to get to know oud, as many say it is not animalic at all in my opinion, but I wouldn’t say you can buy it blindly; given the price, it’s better to test how it goes with your skin and if you truly like it.
Very good Tom Ford fragrance, getting used to that brand’s quality. At first it is very woody and aromatic; after a few minutes, the oud emerges. Although present, it doesn’t feel much; it’s not that animalic or burnt oud. It makes me think of a clean, elegant, and sexy man, confident in himself, dressed neatly and elegantly in a black suit.
Oud Wood is a ‘second skin’ aroma, very woody, soapy, soft, airy, medicinal, slightly smoky, and spicy. Harmless synthetic medicinal oud supported by sweet exotic woods and a clean soapy accord, with a base of Iso E Super, tonka bean, and Ambroxan. The performance, projection, and longevity are weak. It’s the typical composition where some notes ‘eat’ others, nullifying themselves, generating a subtle projection. The scent is there, you can feel it, but it’s like a ‘second skin’. Great aroma, clean, sweet, very woody. Slightly smoky and animalic. Ideal for the office, dates, and family gatherings.
Hello, cordial greeting… Oud Wood disappointed me a bit, rather, it was a total letdown. At first it was good, spicy and woody, then it felt like pure pepper, oud, and sandalwood, which I disliked because the pepper was too strong. In the end, only that remained: pepper. That is my opinion, respecting all others as always.
Tom Ford is to perfumes what Ford is to cars: they launch new models, they are durable, and they are everywhere. I cannot deny that Oud Wood is a great perfume, but I find it too expensive for its trail performance. It’s a Ford at a Ferrari price with the style of a Volvo. It’s alright, I don’t complain, I was gifted it and I use it, but it’s not one of my favourites. Like everyone, sometimes I put on a fragrance just because I haven’t used it in a while. You know what? I think I’ve always preferred Chevrolet.
I don’t like oud, but the balance of this perfume is among the best on the market; exquisite and elegant scent. Pity the exorbitant price for 50ml.
The first Tom Ford I bought. The typical bottle that smells until the cap without needing to spray. A classic imitated for its merits. It’s not youthful, certainly not versatile, but it is original.
Too strong for my nose, simply unbearable. Tom Ford and I just don’t get along, neither in perfumes nor in anything else.
I wish I had a more refined sense of smell. I’m looking for something with body: clean, sweetened wood. The sweetness doesn’t quite convince me; perhaps the vetiver is a bit medicinal, or the wood-vanilla blend, but it is a good perfume. It starts sweet with vetiver, moves through sweet wood, and finishes on a sweet amber where it shines and comes into its own. I like its performance at night. It would suit ladies perfectly; I see it as unisex, which holds me back from wearing it regularly. Good perfume, pity my lack of taste for sweet, oud, and the price.
This is my signature fragrance, with which I met Tom Ford. Of his entire collection, this is number 1. I would only wish it had better performance, as its quality-price ratio should warrant it. Otherwise, it is simply spectacular.
If you like experimenting with layering, mix one spray of TF Oud Wood with two of Ombré Leather and another pair of Insolence by Guerlain (yes, I know it is 100% feminine). You will get a mixture almost identical to Loewe San Miguel, with its touch of violets and rose. A masculine result but with something very special. There is a Penhaligon’s that gives this result too. A way of using this TF giving it another touch.
Oh, here is London, ‘the home of the brave, the bold and the free’. But is it real? Tom Ford Oud Wood is a fragrance designed to please from the first moment, but… is it that good? Mmm, not really. The hype from reviewers gave it a high status, but there are things that do not convince me. It opens with woody notes, almost medicinal, with sweet tints and vanilla intertwining, then very timid touches of amber emerge. The oud seems too westernised, designed to please everyone. It is not a bad fragrance, but the performance of TFOW falls short. I do not know if it was reformulated, but in the end I enjoy it as a designer fragrance, without great pretensions and versatile. Would I buy it again when the bottle is finished? I do not think so, there are more interesting things out there without so much hype.
Like many Tom Fords, I think it is not for everyone’s tastes, pockets or occasions. It is an aroma that I like, evoking an elegant forest through all the woods. It has a fresh opening, type vetiver, which evolves to let out the woods and settles on a quite good amber base. I think it is for semi-formal or formal wear, clean and well-groomed. For people aged 25 or 30 and above, a good but not youthful ‘den’ aroma. Very elegant, quite good to my taste. Like many Tom Fords, I consider they are not for receiving many compliments, but for making a statement and knowing how to wear the perfume that best suits your personality. Happy with the purchase, not happy with the price for my wallet.
It is a mockery of what we are sold nowadays. Total disappointment with this reformulation: it lasts and projects absolutely nothing.
As a perfume on its own, it does nothing for me, but I layered it with Another 13 by Le Labo and it changed completely. It is simply a perfect layering. If you can try that combination, do so; you will not regret it.
Besides being an original scent, it smells frankly well. On my skin it does not project much. As it smells clean, I use it in spring and at the beginning of autumn.
I love the scent, but I must be critical: on my skin it lasts 2 hours and sometimes 3. That is my pain point, paying for something that lasts nothing. This review is purely personal experience. It is a unique aroma that does not disappoint and will surely stay in my collection for a long time, as I will use it on special occasions to enjoy it without pressure.
I have never smelled anything soapy in Oud Wood, something that is always repeated, and I wonder why. Perhaps it is my olfactory bulb, but checking the notes, I see nothing that would produce that effect. Or maybe there are soaps that smell like petroleum and I don’t know them. If anyone is thinking of buying it blindly out of fear that it might be soapy, I recommend trying these truly soapy ones first: Pure Soap by Clean; Prada L, Homme L, Eau; Marseille (Comme des Garçons); Prada Infusion d’Iris; Gentlewoman by Juliette has a gun; 724 by Francis Kurkdjian; or Castile by Penhaligon’s.
I’m from Argentina, where Tom Ford is basically reserved for millionaires. I tried it once in a perfumery and they asked for a third of my salary. However, there’s an ultra low-cost Argentine version from Marchand d’Aromes called Revolution Oud at just $25. It smells identical and is a delight. It lasts 2-3 hours, but reappling isn’t painful. For my fellow countrymen, this is the grand option.
A perfume that masterfully blends the modern with a vintage vibe. The elegant and the robust. Pity the weak performance. It’s a scent so well-made that no dupe I’ve tried comes even remotely close.
Woody, spicy, and balsamic. A striking, attractive, and at the same time subtle scent. Made for elegant, confident men who don’t need to make a noise to attract attention.
That mother smells simply like a soiled nappy with talcum powder; it’s good for the cold but not soapy. Don’t let yourself be swayed by the reviewers; it’s very expensive for what it offers. I liked it, but because I’ve already got used to it; however, the first time I used it, it seemed to smell like poo.
It’s not cheap, no, don’t buy it blindly. While the longevity isn’t too good… between 5 and 6 hours is an interesting, different, and striking scent… the dry-down is wow. I recommend it, but not blindly…
I consider OW to be a completely different perfume of superlative quality. On my skin, it lasts over 8 hours and exceeds that on clothes. It’s one of my favourite fragrances, for winter, spring, summer, and autumn, adjusting the application. In short, it’s irreplaceable for me 😎
A lesson in character, friends. If there is a fragrance that teaches you a lesson in character, it is this. I’m talking about Oud Wood by Tom Ford, and let me tell you, it’s a serious thing. If you’re like me, someone who flees from ‘stuffy’ woody perfumes because they sound like ‘grandpa’ or ‘too serious’, prepare your prejudices to be shattered! This fragrance is so incredibly well-made that it doesn’t smell old; it smells like MAN. Yes, with capital letters. It’s the type of scent that makes you feel you have it figured out, that you know what you want. At first, it’s pure wood, but a soft, neat wood, with that slightly stuffy touch that, far from detracting, adds elegance. But the real magic trick happens in the final dry-down. If you pay attention, very deep down, almost whispering, vanilla and tonka bean appear. Watch out; don’t expect a cloying sweetness; it’s a light, subtle sweetness, just enough to round off the fragrance and give it an addictive warmth without taking away a single crumb of its seriousness. Watch out; this isn’t for daily use or for everyone. I’ll tell you straight: test it on your skin before jumping in. Why? Because Oud Wood demands attitude, maturity, and a taste for the different. I can’t imagine it on a teenager at all; this is for a man with presence, with that ‘something’ that makes people pay attention. It’s for those moments when you want your scent to speak for you without saying a word. My rating: 8/10. Masculine, elegant, and full of character.
I detect cardamom alongside something mineral, or perhaps undeclared aldehydes. For me, one of the most complex perfumes in the world upon first sniff. Then came the wood; I didn’t even know what oud was, and when I discovered it years later, I couldn’t find it there… but it’s so well integrated with the cardamom and a dry vetiver that it was what made me fall in love with perfumery. I don’t invite anyone to think it’s the fragrance where oud shines best, but for me, it was such a complex scent (or was then) that it marked a before and after. Now there are millions of interpretations, copies, and inspirations, and perhaps it’s not the same, but believe me: if you’re starting out, try it. If you can, buy it. Enjoy it. Its flaw: longevity. On my skin, two full hours, then another seven of slow evolution but close to the skin. It doesn’t matter; that’s not what it seeks. Before, for a while, you smelled like a millionaire. Now it’s more common, but on untrained noses, it remains epic and very memorable.
Very rich; I had already tried a dupe that comes very close to the scent. It’s a rich, pure, creamy wood, slightly sweet and warm (nothing gourmand or overly vanilla). It reminds you of the vibe of sandalwood, but here the wood is less sawdust-like and more moist. Apart from the wood, what I notice most is the cardamomo very deep in the dry-down; it gives that same Noir Extreme vibe. I don’t know if everyone will like it, but I love it, only that it doesn’t give me a sense of elegance and I struggle to think of a specific use. It evolves towards warmth. Quality and scent are excellent, but for the price and performance, I’d stick with the Perfumería HC5 dupe.
It was my first Tom Ford perfume. It smells of burnt woods, like a warm winter day in front of a fireplace with leather ornaments. It’s a costly, unisex scent for cold climates. It’s worth it, even if it doesn’t last long, only about 4 to 6 hours on clothes.
I gifted a 100ml to a friend who always hangs around the supermarket downstairs and kept the 50ml for myself. I gave it a try; at first, it smells boozy, likely due to those unsung aldehydes. It features fresh spices, like biting into cardamom or smelling pure pepper, well-balanced with vanilla and amber. The base is deep, creamy wood with a typical house spicy-amber note (like in Noir Extreme), featuring vetiver, synthetic amber, vanillins, and terpene/cashmeran spices. It also has Iso E Super, giving it a modern touch. Brilliantly composed; I’m sure I’ll finish it by winter. PS: considering the price, I’d prefer a Noir Extreme.
