The heart of this Tom Ford unisex perfume is a harmonic blend of rare oud wood, sandalwood and vetiver, which together render a bold fragrance. As the perfume subsides, Tonka bean, vanilla and amber at the base of this Tom Ford perfume create a concert of a mesmerizing fragrance. Wear the Tom Ford Oud Wood and make your presence felt in the crowd.
Oud Wood opens up as medicinal, slightly spicy and peppery. And something in it reminds me of aged leather. (Leather isn't listed, but it is definitely there). There's an unusual mushroom quality to Oud Wood. I assume this is the synthetic agarwood that everyone speaks of when trying this fragrance. It's like a mushroom wrapped in plastic in a leather satchel.
Oud Wood comes across as synthetic, too good to be true, another reason why I like it. This isn't one of those "natural" Middle Eastern smelling ouds. It wears as a haze of leathery, smoky woods with a small amount of Indian spices.
It's woodsy with a sandalwood softness and sweet tonka bean and amber. It's rich and sweet and the woods add some dimension. Overall, Oud Wood isn't "loud" like other oud scents, like from Montale.
When I wear Oud Wood, I feel attractive. 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. The purpose of Oud Wood is to present Oud in a rather unfettered form, but to also button it up nice and structured, so it appeals to Western tastes. Oud Wood has the medicinal facets of agarwood, but not the dirty animalic barnyard facets that it often takes when paired with rose or leather.
This dry, semi-sweet, muted oud is paired with a few other woods in the note pyramid, and graced with a top of Sichuan pepper. The starring oud note shows soon after, paired with creamy sandalwood and slightly smoky vetiver, which carries on the dusty/chalky nature of Oud Wood. There's also tonka and vanilla to round out and sweeten the skin finish, but it's not enough to purge the mind of a can of Comet. Wearing this has been something of a chore once you've made your way down to the itchy base, although the journey there is rather quite nice. 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.
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.
I like woodsy, smoky, and "dark" fragrances. I love all of the notes listed in this fragrance. So, it makes sense that I would like Tom Ford Private Blends Oud Wood. It wears like a close haze around the skin.
Women can most definitely pull this off, don't think this is a "man's" scent. Some may argue with me, but this is one of those scents that wears wonderfully on me, a lady. I think it's one of the sexiest fragrances that I own. It's a hazy, woodsy fragrance with a soft, sweet base. No florals, making this a very appealing wood. I think the lack of florals is what makes people think of this as a masculine fragrance.
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. Métallique is grossly underrated in the Tom Ford lineup, especially as a scent for men. It blends floral notes with crisp bergamot, spicy pink peppercorn, and a strong, creamy vanilla-sandalwood base.
It's one of the brand's more "classic" scents in terms of its wear, with a universally pleasing cast . I think that people expect all Tom Ford fragrances to scream and shout, whereas this one plays by the rules and earns perfect marks for it. One of the most rare, precious, and expensive ingredients in a perfumer's arsenal, oud wood is often burned in incense- filled temples. Exotic rose wood and cardamom give way to a smoky blend of rare oud wood, sandalwood and vetiver. Tonka bean and amber add warmth and sensuality. TOM FORD OUD WOOD is one of the most rare, precious, and expensive ingredients in a perfumer's arsenal.
Exotic rosewood and cardamom give way to a smoky blend of rare oud wood, sandalwood, and vetiver. Tom Ford Oud Wood Perfume as the name implies belongs to the classic woody family. The key notes include Chinese pepper, rare oud wood, and sandalwood. This combination of smoky and exotic fragrances is rich and compelling.
This rich scent is adored by men and women alike. The Comet association with the dustiness of the stuff is unfortunate, but not a total deal breaker. However, the fairly weak projection and below-average longevity for an eau de parfum are, so I can't really recommend this. What compounds this worse is the hype behind this particular Private Blend, along with Tobacco Vanille , as the two must-haves for men from the house. 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.
Invigorating All Over Body Spray is lightly scented with Oud Wood, adding a new dimension and refreshingly cool way to wear Tom Ford scent.

Oud Wood envelops you in rare oud, exotic spices and cardamom, and then exposes its rich and dark blend of sensuality. 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. 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. 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.
The rare and exotic ingredient - Oud Wood - is often burned in incense-filled temples. This ingredient provides the fragrance with a smoky aroma, complemented by exotic rosewood, cardamom, sandalwood and vetiver. The warmth and sensuality of the scent are added by tonka beans and amber. 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. Oud Wood is the ultimate perfume for anyone who doesn't like a scent that feels too precious or contrived.
It features an expert strategy of foresty-scented woods that smell classic and comforting yet rare and enticing. 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. It's lovely, especially when combined with the spiced creaminess of the sandalwood.
There are faint traces of vanilla and tonka, and the oud occasionally pops up like a fleeting Jack in the Box, but those are all minor things. The dry-down is mostly just sandalwood and vetiver. 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. Rich, luxe and highly addictive, Tom Ford'sPrivate Blendcollection famously fuses sleek design with good scent.
Bottled greatness comes to mind – and for good cause; each Private Blend is characteristically individual, which is to say there's something for everyone. For those needing a little inspiration, imagine smoky cedar infusions melded with aromatic spices and exotic botanical extracts. Put simply, think anything 'Oud' by Tom Ford.
A spicy opening of Szechwan pepper and cardamom evolves towards a smoky heart built around agarwood , sandalwood and vetiver. The ambry dry-down is enriched with notes of vanilla and tonka bean. About two hours in, the vetiver starts to truly emerge and it remains prominent for the length of the perfume's development. 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!
