This fragrance to me is best for date nights, suit and tie, fall weddings etc.. events that’s only for a few hours in the evening in the cooler seasonal months.
Absolutely love it. Isn’t the most crowd pleasing but in my opinion it is the Gold Standard of the Tom Ford Private Blends. I agree it’s a perfect autumn fragrance and definitely more formal, but yes can be a little more casual in the fall.
Oud Wood is a fragrance that can easily wear you. What I mean is that if you're not dressed exceedingly well, and if don't have the personality for it. It simply won't work on you. Oud Wood is a cologne of few words. The slap-happy guy with the Tabasco tie can't pull it off. This scent should be reserved for the James Bond type. A man of few words who lets his body language and charisma do the talking. It brings a warmth with it; reminiscent of cherry tree crackling in the fireplace while reading old poetry and sipping a single malt. Don't douse yourself in this fragrance while you slip into Nike Slides in a pair of old sweats. This is the final act in a carefully pieced ensemble. Placed shortly after adjusting one's cufflinks.
@@FragranceHunter I was super lucky about a year ago I was in a discount site and clicked new releases and it just came in and the had 10 bottles. It’s so good if you love oud.
Thanks for the info. I've smelt oud in a few fragrances but never bought one specifically for the oud, so this clip has helped me rule out some of the drier, woodier options that--yeah--might be best in the autumn, whereas I'm looking for something more wintery. (It wouldn't be Oud Wood either way.) I think it's always "cardamom", not "cardamon", but that's nothing when your reviews are intelligent and helpful. Oud isn't really mould or mouldy wood, by the way. It's wood that's got soaked with excess resin that the tree has released to combat the fungal infection. Hopefully we're all safe :D
I own 2 oud wood and tv only other i smelled was lost cherry i like it but was little to girly sweet to my nose i need to buy more samples of tom ford soon.
@Fragrance Hunter there so many to choose from are there any must try from you have smelled ? I might buy like 6 5 ml samples at once but they're like 25$ a piece at scent split for the 5 ml each.
It's not the worst, but it smells like latex or a rubber band. Does anyone else get thise notes? I want to love it, but I can't escape the synthetic rubber balloon smell.
