Oud Wood

Tom Ford Oud Wood is the fragrance that made oud accessible to Western audiences. Rather than the barnyard animalic quality of traditional oud, this opens with Chinese pepper and cardamom that creates a spicy, approachable entrance. The oud note itself is tempered with rosewood, giving it a creamy, almost sweet quality. Sandalwood and vetiver in the base add warmth and earthiness while tonka and amber provide a comfortable, wearable finish. This is not challenging oud - it's smooth, sophisticated, and universally flattering. Longevity sits around 6-8 hours with intimate projection.
