i purchased oud wood back in 2009 when it was lesser known and it came in the original dark black amber bottle. I wore it religiously and it became my signature scent. i got a whole days worth of longevity and the sillage was incredible(only using 3-4 sprays). i received compliments left and right. I left a trail everywhere i went. The scent would also linger in my car and on furniture i would sit on. The 100ml bottle lasted well over two years. Later in the mid 2010's when TF released the oud collection(grey charcoal packing) i purchased another bottle and immediately noticed a significant difference. It had lost its deep intense richness from the first spray. the longevity was gone and the sillage wasn't there. There was without a doubt a reformulation. Truly heart breaking, it was the first signature i fell in love it. Its disappointing to know that its no longer on the market

I'd never smelled this until recently when I discovered a little container filled with a bunch of various sample fragrances. One was a 4ml bottle with twist cap, and gold label for Oud Wood. It's a golden colored liquid and smells amazing. A dab on the wrist lasts well over 12 hours for me! I have no idea when I received this little sample, or who gave it to me, but it must have been close to 15 years ago? Smells so unique and rich.

Oud wood is one of my signature scents. I'm on my 3rd 100ml bottle. It's absolutely stunning. I don't seem to have performance issues with it. 7-8 hours respectively. With about 6-8 sprays. I can smell it on my clothing 3-4 days later when I do my laundry. The older batches lasted longer, 10-12 hours, I have some decants of the older batches and I save them for special occasions. I do think people go nose blind to it and those are the people that think it doesn't last. I can wear it all day and when I come home, my wife can still smell it on me. Tom ford atomizers don't spray as much as a dior atomizer, so even at 6-8 sprays, you're probably not wearing as much as 4 sprays of any dior. Keep that in mind when judging the performance
@snowliferwb2 жыл бұрын
@@HigherScents what? 6-8 sprays of oud wood in volume isn't very much actually. It's less than 4 sprays from any dior bottle, nishane, mfk The atomizer on tom fords don't produce much in comparison. About half the amount. So 6-8 sprays is the equivalent of 3-4 sprays of something like dior or MFK.

Great review. I just received a new bottle from Aug 2021 batch that appears to be one the first since the lilial removal reformulation, as butylphenyl methylproprianol is no longer a listed ingredient like it was earlier in the year. I noticed the addition of tocopherol to the ingredients as well. Not sure if either of these changes will have much impact, but we'll see. Smells great either way. I have a few Creed's that were post-lilial removal as well, and everything seems to be good with them, so I assume the perfume industry has found a suitable replacement.

I consider perfumery an art form in the same vein as a painter, chef, sculpter etc. So for another party to create their version of a hugely successful piece of art whatever it is is pretty inevitable. We see it in almost everything in life. A simple example I have given in the past is grocery shopping. A chef at Mctvities created the hob nob,, since then every single supermarket has copied and created their own version and some are better then others and by and large they are cheaper than the original (sound familiar). If you think about it what successful product has not been copied in some way across any industry? So I don't worry too much about it,, if a fragrance is fantastic it will continue to sell and a few "inspired by" releases may even increase the desirability of the original. So, it should not happen but it does and will never stop. Lasltly I have a 10ml of Guapo, great fragrance. I also like watching your very unique style of reviewing... Lyric man smelling like bubble bath was a good one for me,, i thought it was just me that felt that way. 😁

Universally people always say any newer vintage of any perfume is weaker regardless of brand. I don't know if this is a psychosematic thing, or that fragrances that have longer to age get stronger over time, or what. What's your take, Aaron? I'm sure people will eventually start saying your older bottles are stronger, better, etc. despite formulations staying stable.

First off, I'd like to say that I love this review, and your reviews in general. It offers an unique perspective you can hardly find nowadays, when you're not interested in the typical "Get those 5 to drop panties on Friday night". Regarding the scent, it was one of go to fragrances, even when staying at home and I just wanted to appreciate a masterfully blended perfume. I do think that the old bottles with the golden label used to have much better performance. The time I bought this fragrance was in mid 2021, and to be quite honest, the performance is insulting, especially for the asking price that keeps getting higher and higher. I'll always appreciate master perfumery and the art of blending something this good, but nowadays I feel that whenever I'm paying for Tom Ford, I'm paying for marketing, not perfumery. It's disappointing.

I've had an old bottle for years now, maybe 8 or more. It wasn't quite as long lasting as Tobacco Vanille I bought at the same time but it projected well (someone walked past at work about 10m away and said god that's amazing). It never seemed to last anywhere near as long and with TV I could always smell it the next morning or even in the afternoon if I'd showered. It stayed on my clothes for 2 days or more too (obviously not tshirt/shirt but coat/hoody/sweatshirt/jumper). I bought 100ml of TV a few years ago when the original ran out and I feel like it's half as strong. I've some recent TF decants for testing and they seem to be similar in terms of not being as strong lasting. They project pretty well. I find my strongest TF now is black orchid, that seems stronger than all the others, including a Neroli Portofino from a few years back.

As far as clones/dupes go, as a rule, I generally stay away from them. I try to support the perfumers but there are very rare exceptions I've made towards the house of Creed. I can't tolerate their ridiculous batch variations and watering down their fragrances year after year while still charging 350-450 dollars for a 100ml bottle. It's all been compounded ever since Creed was bought out. I wish I'd bought a bottle of Silver Mountain Water and Green Irish Tweed years ago but I missed out on that so that's where I made exceptions to my rule.

So where would I get carbon? I never heard of that technique. I’m nothing more than an average consumer. Just curious and wanting to find new and better ways to enjoy my favorite fragrances. Nice video, peace! ✌🏻

Great scent but those issues have been there from the start. No surprise so many came along putting their twist on it. Fully agree with you on the others... 10 years ago Tom Ford releases were epic & memorable compared to now.

This fragrance is amazing! I bought the original and after bought the clones so I don't waste the original. I haven't had a chance/pleasure to smell your fragrances yet but one day I hope to try all the ATH line. I've heard your unique abilities to create fragrances is par none. Just wondering what I should try 1st.

Love this scent! Im also curious how would you like oud venture by Novellista which is for me a pretty good clone of TF Oud Wood and the price is really good too.

I also get a sssslight clean, spearminty scent from TF Oud wood which I adore. Not sure if thats the "dentist scent" you're referring to?
