One of the rarest, precious, and expensive ingredients in a perfumer's arsenal, TOM FORD Oud Wood is often burned in the incense-filled temples of Bhutan. Exotic rosewood and cardamom give way to a smoky blend of rare oud wood, sandalwood and vetiver. In a short time, the blend exudes an essence of exotic rosewood followed by a smoky accord of oud wood, sandalwood and vetiver roots, which envelop me in pleasant warmth.
The vetiver emerges genuinely, and it remains prominent for the length of the perfume's development. There is no massive bite to the oud, and the oud here is different to others that I have smelled. Cardamom has become slightly more prominent now, with a heavier camphor tone. Its cool undertones balance the rosy notes that are often found in oud fragrances. And the combination of oud with the aromatic and nutty cardamom is terrific.
The smokiness reminds me of the atmosphere of an ancient incense-filled temple during some spiritual function, where the walls, floor and roof soak in burnt olibanum oil veil. It is a resinous woodiness with an interesting smell. Born in Texas, Tom Ford spent his adolescence in New York, where he first studied Art History before taking up Architecture at the Parsons School of Design in New York and Paris. In 1990, he moved to Milan, where he transformed the Italian house Gucci into a luxuriously sexy label. After the acquisition of Yves Saint Laurent and YSL Beauté by Gucci, he became the group's art director.
In 2005, he created his eponymous brand with Estée Lauder and launched his own perfumes and beauty products. His international success was rewarded with several renowned awards, such as the Vogue Fashion Award and the Elle Style Award. Some of his bestselling men's and women's perfumes are the exotically sensual Oud Wood, the iconic Tobacco Vanille and the rich Black Orchid.
Some of his fragrances were inspired by his travels, such as the floral scent Fleur de Portofino which captures the Italian city's scents. Let Tom Fords oriental, citrus and floral men's and women's perfumes, fragrant soaps and body sprays bewitch you. They are available on Bongénie Grieder's e-shop and in our Lausanne and Geneva stores. Also succumb to the richly coloured lipsticks, and catch all eyes.

This rich and warm blend of wood and spice notes pays homage to oud wood, a prized ingredient that perfumers the world-over are enthralled by. Wrap yourself in the aroma of exotic rosewood, cardamom, tonka bean, amber and the smoky blend of oud wood, sandalwood and vetiver when you're in the mood to indulge. The TF fragrance goes on with a heavy but majestic black fragrance of black wood incense.
The incense is naturally brooding, with a smoky, frosted texture. Although both woody, incense is very different from cedar, sandalwood and guaiac woods. The fragrances of TF are so wonderful, they always break the limits of gender and bring endless imagination.
There is a small sparkle at the end, where the not-so-presence of vanilla root adds a touch of 'sweetness' to the gloomy fragrance, giving it a sense of sweetness and bitterness. An oriental woody fragrance launched in 2007; Oud Wood displays notes of Oud, rosewood, sandalwood, cardamom, vanilla, amber, Sichuan pepper, vetiver and tonka bean. It's a strong and bold fragrance without being too overpowering. It does lean more masculine but I still think it's unisex enough for a woman to wear. It has a lovely mix of vanilla, amber and sandalwood.
The oud in the scent is noticeable but on the softer side when mixed with the Tonka Bean and Vanilla. It wears very well on the skin and like most Tom Ford fragrances I've tried, lasts all day long without fading. I recommend reading the reviews on Fragrantica, Basenotes.net, Kafkaesque and Temptalia. It is a calmness that is willing to be approached, especially for winter. It can be uncomfortable at first, but after a few attempts, you simply fall in love with the scent.
The earthy fragrance is underpinned by a rare, precious oud wood, enveloping the wearer in its rich and dark blend of sensuality and strength. Exotic spices and Cardamom add further warmth to the Eau de Parfum, complemented by natural elements of Sandalwood, Rosewood and Amber. Confident and seductive, this intoxicating and elusive scent embodies the Tom Ford man.
Oud Wood is housed in a smoked grey private blend bottle, inspired by the architectural appeal of a chess piece. Smoky, incense-filled temples and a passion for rare, precious oud wood inspire Tom Ford's pioneering composition of exotic woods and spices. A composition of exotic, smoky woods including rare oud, sandalwood, rosewood, Eastern spices, and sensual amber, revealing oud wood's rich and compelling power.
On the finish, the woody background prevails, sometimes almost green, complex, dry, which gives the perfume a vaguely austere elegance. The creamy and powdery aromas of tonka pod, spicy vanilla, and sensual amber give the fragrance a dense trail of warmth and sensuality. There are faint traces of vanilla and tonka. The base is not a sweet and gourmand bomb, and the oud occasionally appears fleeting, but the ground is mostly just sandalwood and vetiver. Using that bit of amber is done masterfully, and if they used more, the bottom would become too sweet and powdery a deal.
A very virile, woody and at the same time gentle and masculine drydown. I should add that I'm using Oud Wood for more than a year now to the point that I think it has become my signature scent(although I didn't believe in signature scents before). I find it the most versatile and easy to wear scent from the Private Blend collection .
Also it's amazing for blending(my favorite is Arabian Wood+Oud Wood combination). It lasts long on my skin but its not too potent. My favorite part is its dry down with creamy tonka bean and sandalwood. Sometimes I get mocha feel from it too. I received a sample of this perfume along with an order I recently placed.
You can't imagine my reaction when I saw it was none other than Tom Ford Oud Wood. Yes, because this perfume is on my wishlist, together with Faking Fabolous. I love potent aromas, everything related to the word "animal", understood as something that comes from the way of the fauna and the flora. Mineral, metallic, resinous, smoky, leathery, medicinal scents drive me crazy. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that ingredients such as leather, moist earth, rain, resins, petrichor, balsams, syrups, and amber are all my cup of tea.
By the way, about Oud Wood, this fragrance differs from most of the Arabian colognes, meaning it does not rely on the well-known formula of oud-rose or oud-saffron pairs. Instead, it is planned differently without too much sweetness. It doesn't smell like any other Oud out there, and I think that's why I love it. Because it smells different, like I've never smelled any other perfume like this before. The very first impression is of rose and sweet, nutty cardamom.
There is also Szechuan pepper, earthy vetiver, and hints of rich vanilla as if from a freshly cut Madagascar bean. Oud Wood is now primarily a vetiver, cardamom and oud fragrance with the rose becoming increasingly fainter. Sandalwood makes its appearance, pushing the rose completely off the stage and blending with the vanilla, cardamom and the earthy vetiver in a truly lovely manner.
At times, it seems as though Oud Wood is mainly a vanilla vetiver with hints of oud and spice. At other times, it's mostly sandalwood with vetiver. The perfume fluctuates and undulates, showing just how well-blended it is. Every time I've worn this I CANNOT stop smelling my wrist, and it has great sillage and longevity is 6+ hours from one spray.
Oud is my favorite note and it is definitely prominent in this, but in a very friendly, NOT HARSH way. I can smell the rosewood and vetiver, but the vetiver is also not as masculine as I'm used to, and that's a good thing. This is a soft unisex fragrance that wears well on either gender. Nothing sharp, harsh, or headache-inducing here, just a very well-blended gorgeous scent.
By far one of my favourite Oud fragrances. I agree that Oud Wood is pretty unisex, at least for women who are used to wearing unisex frags, particularly dry, woody ones. I have often read reviews by the guys on Basenotes asserting that scents I love to wear are absolutely extremely masculine.
About two hours in, the vetiver starts to truly emerge and it remains prominent for the length of the perfume's development. "Oud Wood envelops you in rare oud, exotic spices and cardamom then exposes its rich and dark blend of sensuality," says Ford of his original Oud Wood fragrance. We were intrigued, so we took a good look at the Tom Ford Oud Wood Intense cologne to see for ourselves. Following in their footsteps is the faintly medicinal tones of oud.
There is no huge bite to the oud, and I don't think it's mutedness is due to the fact that it is covered by a veil of spice and sweetness. Even putting aside the unique nature of Montale's fragrances, the oud here is different to others that I have smelled. For example, the By Kilian oud fragrances in the Arabian Nights collection range from cold, stony oud in Pure Oud to almost no oud at all in Amber Oud. Tom Ford's Oud Wood may be closest to Rose Oud with its rose and soft agarwood, but there is still a difference that is hard to explain. It's as if the oud has been hidden here such that it's merely providing small cameo performances here or there.
It's not the star, but it's also not one of the main supporting actors either. Extremely softly for a Tom Ford fragrance, if I might add. It may be the softest opening I've ever experienced for one of his perfumes — Private Blend or regular collection! Exotic rosewood and cardamom introduce a charcoal blend of rare Oud wood, sandalwood and vetiver. Surrender to the pull of rare, precious oud, exotic spices and cardamom – a gift of dark sensuality. This set features Oud Wood 50mL perfume and a luxe travel-size atomizer.
In the year 2000 First in Fragrance was founded when, as one of the first, Georg R. Wuchsa recognized the great possibilities offered by an online presentation. At a time when the "everything's for free" and low-price culture still prevailed, it was difficult to imagine offering the finest luxury products on the internet. For many this was either frowned upon or simply inconceivable. By joining forces, we will do everything in our power to provide you with only the best in the world of perfumes and beauty. FIRST IN FRANGRANCE has also experienced its share of envy and imitators but we can proudly say that it is and remains – The Original. Seeking to create the first true luxury brand of the 21st century, Tom Ford showcases high-performance formulations and unrivalled luxury craftsmanship down to the finest detail.
Encased in sleek metal with monogramed accents, every product has been expertly designed with covetable aesthetics. Overall, do I like this Tom Ford fragrance? I do and I don't The performance isn't good.
I like how it smells at some points in the wear but then it also has a sour smell at times. The oud note, is actually not overwhelming in this one, so I enjoy that fact and the wood notes are great. I bought it as a gift for my partner and every time he wears it it just reminds me of luxury. It's such a beautiful gift and sometimes I'll even just wear it myself!
You don't need much which is something I appreciate with expensive scents as they last hours on the skin so it's worth the money. This starts off with a spicy cardamom and rosewood up top and slowly dries down to a creamy sandalwood, tonka and very tame and wearable oud. This is an all round signature scent worthy fragrance. Four hours in, the perfume is extremely close to the skin and predominantly sandalwood with vetiver. The latter is increasingly sweet, fresh and bright green, reminding me of the aromatic fragrancy of lemongrass more than anything earthy or dark.
