Tom Ford Oud Wood

The fragrance opens with a prominent blend of oud oil from Laos, sandalwood, and rosewood, transitioning into a creamy, smoky dry-down. You will also detect subtle hints of amber and cardamom, which add a slight warmth and sweetness to the rich woody profile.

Because of its heavy, dense woody profile, Oud Wood is generally considered much better suited for fall, winter, or cool evening wear. Wearing it in high summer heat can cause the rich amber and oud notes to become cloying or overwhelming in close quarters.

Yes, Oud Wood is part of the prestigious Tom Ford Private Blend collection, which is known for its high concentration of essential oils and luxury packaging. As part of this premium line, it is priced significantly higher than standard designer fragrances, reflecting its artisanal ingredients.

As an Eau de Parfum from the Private Blend line, it boasts excellent longevity, typically lasting anywhere from 8 to 12 hours on the skin depending on your body chemistry. The projection is exceptionally strong for the first two to three hours before settling into a closer, intimate scent bubble.
