Tom Ford Oud Wood Eau de Parfum The fragrance that made oud accessible to the world. Oud Wood by Tom Ford is the iconic, deeply sophisticated oriental woody fragrance launched in 2007 and created by Richard Herpin — the Private Blend that introduced an entire generation of Western fragrance lovers to the ancient, extraordinary beauty of oud. Before Oud Wood, oud was the preserve of Middle Eastern perfumery and a handful of niche houses. After Oud Wood, it became the most coveted ingredient in luxury fragrance. That is the measure of this fragrance’s influence. Built around a rare oud wood accord of extraordinary smoothness and refinement, it opens with a warm, slightly spiced brightness of rosewood, cardamom, and Chinese pepper — clean, aromatic, and immediately distinctive — before deepening into a rich, complex heart of oud wood, sandalwood, and vetiver. The oud is the soul of this fragrance: warm, slightly smoky, and deeply resinous, but rendered with a lightness and elegance that makes it approachable without ever compromising its depth. The dry-down is warm and deeply sensual: amber, tonka bean, and vanilla creating a smooth, golden warmth that carries the oud beautifully through hours of wear.
