Tom Ford Oud Wood

Oud Wood Dupes, Clones, Alternatives & Replacements

Oud Wood is warm, spicy, and a little pungent at first. The cardamom lends an exotic quality, reminiscent of other Tom Ford oriental-style colognes. Regardless of the name, oud is not the star of the show, but blends in with the other notes, making it imperceptible. Although Oud Wood has a sharpness to it, it is much more cozy and milder than its contemporaries. 

  • Notes: Agarwood (Oud) ,Brazilian Rosewood, Sichuan Pepper, Vetiver, Tonka Bean, Amber, Cardamom,  Sandalwood and  Vanilla.
