Oud Wood Eau de Parfum
A rare, exotic oud fragrance that trades sweetness for smoky, woody depth. Rich and expensive-smelling from the first spray, it feels less like a cologne you reach for daily and more like a personal signature.

Our Take
Oud Wood is the fragrance that put Tom Ford's Private Blend line on the map, and it still holds up as one of the more accessible entry points into oud for people who haven't worn it before.
Rather than leaning into the medicinal, barnyard character oud can have in its rawest form, this version smooths it out with rosewood, sandalwood, and vanilla. It reads rich and polished rather than challenging.
This is a fragrance you wear when you want to feel like you're wearing something, not just smelling like something. It's not cheap and it's not subtle about that fact, but for a special bottle in the rotation, it delivers.
Scent Breakdown
- Sichuan pepper and cardamom open warm and spiced
