Tom Ford Oud Wood
Tom Ford Oud Wood is one of the first buys for me in my new journey in perfumery. I like niche brand parfums and only less than 1% designer brand. Although, Oud Wood is more of a crowd pleaser. There is such a huge difference (mostly in quality in materials) in making of the product in niche brands. I’m not a snob, I just can’t wear designer colognes and my nasal sensories finds them offensive. Designer brands can be really harsh to my nose. All that’s been said about Oud Wood is true. There’s not much more to elaborate on. It’s one best fragrance scents I own. The longevity could stand to be better. That’s the only weakness of the fragrance I can think of. When I wear the fragrance, it’s warm and cozy. Comforting and reminds me of intimacy for some reason. It’s for versatile for several occasions. It’s not loud, but well spoken. Guaranteed to get compliments when wearing this smooth sauce. First time I wore OW, someone told me, “You smell nice.” I said, “Thanks, I didn’t take a bath.” Haha. This fragrance has Brazilian Rosewood listed as an ingredient in the heat notes, and I believe without a doubt this may be one of the unsung heroes of this frag. There’s lots of rosewood in this fragrance. I know that a good Rosewood essential oil smells fantastic on the dry down on a test strip. Rosewood by itself on test strip starts off by smelling a bit like dirty diapers and is a little off putting but goes on to smell beautiful-softer and sweeter. The other ingredients in OW obviously alleviate that early unwanted dirty smell in rosewood. That’s the beauty of perfumery and chemistry. I’m just guessing btw. Rosewood also rounds off any sharpness in the other heart notes Sichuan Pepper and Cardamom and lends the fragrance more body. Then there’s Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Vetiver, Sandalwood, and Amber; all of which are some of my most sought after aromas in a fragrance. What’s not to love? Scent 10, Longevity 6. It’s worthy of a purchased to me. Tom Ford Oud Wood is one of the first buys for me in my new journey in perfumery. I like niche brand parfums and only less than 1% designer brand.
