Tom Ford Oud Wood is one of the original 12 fragrances released in the Private Blend collection. This oriental spicey fragrance starts with a wrap of warmth, then a smoky blend and smooth finale. Cool spices and warm wood, wrapped in silky oud and vanilla. Tom Ford launched M7 for YSL when he was there - a legendary fragrance that bombed when it was released because nobody was ready for it. Now it is discontinued and hard to find and expensive when you do find it. Tom Ford Oud Wood is Tom Ford's second attempt at M7, with much better results on marketing.
From Kafkaesque - "spiced, vanilla, vetiver, woody fragrance that simply happens to have some oud in it. It’s neither particularly sweet nor masculine. But it’s infinitely wearable, far from potent, very approachable, and utterly delicious at times."
From Now Smell This - "It's a dark-ish, earthy wood scent, as was M7, and the latter's bitter, almost medicinal undertone is still there (the notes for Oud Wood: rosewood, cardamom, Chinese pepper, oud, sandalwood, vetiver, tonka bean, vanilla and amber). It's lighter in Oud Wood though, and it doesn't last as long; overall, Oud Wood is a quieter fragrance, with the oud itself softened by the vanilla and other wood notes. It does have a nice bite to it, but it isn't nearly as heavily spiced as M7. If you almost liked M7 but found it a bit much, Oud Wood might be perfect."
From Temptalia - "Oud Wood does not remain spicy, though, as it is enveloped by the scent of an ambered sandalwood peeking through with an underlying touch of vetiver. There’s still a lingering of smoke, but it’s musky, sultry, and delectably woody. It smells luxe–rich and earthy–and reminds me a little of what sexiness might embody if it were a scent (to me)."

I love it, top five in my lineup for sure. Smells amazing medium- long lasting projects well but not a monster. Of the three tf's I've tried (other two being noir de noir & Costa azzurra) this one's head and shoulders above the others.
I tried a lot of samples and quite a few of tom ford's. This one jumped out for me. Just love its sexy earthiness. My husband loves it too.
I might agree with other reviewers that you need to re-apply after a couple of hours.

Tom Ford Oud Wood is sexual despite being overpowering.With rich complex warm notes it is very well blended.Sophisticated,luxurious and classy an absolute sensual mix.Although pricey,it is definitely worth a try.
This is one of the most gorgeous fragrances I have ever tried. It is a sweet woody oud, with a hint of bluebells and clean laundry. In fact I would like it as a signature fragrance except for the fact that it doesn't last. Three hours or so and it's gone and it is far too pricey to keep spraying. I like it so much I've tried all the methods to help it last (mixing with a carrier oil, spraying it on wet skin etc). Sadly, none of them has increased its staying power. That is why I can only give it four stars. If it lasted, five stars would not be nearly enough.
This cologne is unisex and smells awesome. It's a scent kind of like the old Donna Karen Chaos.
