About Tom Ford Oud Wood

Tom Ford Oud Wood is a masculine Eau de Parfum from 2007 that has become perhaps the most famous oud fragrance in Western perfumery. It introduced countless people to the world of oud by presenting this exotic ingredient in an incredibly smooth, approachable way. Rather than the raw, animalic oud of traditional Middle Eastern perfumery, Oud Wood offers a refined, creamy, almost gentle interpretation that is universally wearable.

The opening pairs cardamom with Sichuan pepper, creating a warm, aromatic spice introduction. Cardamom brings its cool, slightly sweet spice, while Sichuan pepper adds a unique tingling, slightly citrusy warmth. Together they create an opening that is inviting and sophisticated without being aggressive.

The heart is where Oud Wood finds its soul with oud, Brazilian rosewood, and sandalwood. The oud is smooth and polished, woody and slightly smoky without any harsh or funky qualities. Brazilian rosewood adds a rosy, slightly sweet woodiness, and sandalwood provides its characteristic creamy warmth. These three woods together create a heart that is rich, layered, and incredibly smooth.

The base brings vanilla, tonka bean, amber, and vetiver in a gourmand-woody finish. The vanilla and tonka add subtle sweetness that makes the woods feel warm and inviting. Amber provides golden depth, and vetiver contributes earthy freshness. The base is long-lasting and evolves beautifully on the skin.

Oud Wood is a year-round fragrance that works for virtually any occasion. Its smooth, refined character makes it perfect for office wear while having enough depth for evening events. A modern classic that rightfully earned its place as one of Tom Ford's most beloved creations.
