Kevin Samuels brought me here and I’m starting to see there’s levels to the cologne/perfumer game. I was a bit overwhelmed with the sheer knowledge being dropped in this video. Very good job and a very good video you have a new subscriber.

[@ChescoYT]

Tom Ford fragrances are water-downed trash! Don't support that sharking company, practicing predatory behavior. They over-charge AND they can't give the customer something in return that performs??? Pff! Boycott the rich company that's funded by their stock investors and support a brand with better products. TF is DEAD! Go next!

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

[@snowliferwb]

@@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.

[@usmanturnbull5216]

if you dont mind me asking, what batch code do you have? is it the 2021/2022 one or is it the old formulations

[@snowliferwb]

@@usmanturnbull5216 my newest bottle is A80 and it's wonderful

[@danielsolomon5661]

If you use it that much, it should be cheaper if you buy a 250ml one, right?

[@07dadrilla30]

Hey bro, I was planning on buying it tomorrow as I loved the scent, but im reading everywhere that nowdays the performance of it is atrocious, doesn’t have any longevity, apparently you can hardly smell it after 1 hour?

[@BenNCM]

Aaron, for me this video represents perfectly the type of video which ticks all the boxes and satisfies every type of person who enjoy your videos. As a novice perfumer myself, the mentioning of the raw materials used in the fragrances you review is an essential feature that I always hope to see. Keep up the great work!

[@shaun4113]

I purchased this retail a few months ago and it performs very well on my skin. With only two sprays on my neck, my coworkers were able to pick up the scent 7+ hours later.

[@Handstyles]

Is it the gold plaque or the grey plaque version? The former is the old formulation wihich has better longevity. It can still be found in some shops. My brother bought the new version and it turns to a skin scent after 3-4 hours on his and my skin. Lots of people report that problem but some dont.

[@aaronoldenburger3436]

I also get around 7 hours, so no performance issues for me.

[@zsoltgampe502]

My first true love of a scent! I will never get tired of it, but totally agree with the performance issues…

[@michaelcruze8560]

I bought my bottle from my local Nordstrom store in 2020. On my skin, it performs very well. It does project nicely and last all day and into the night on me. I may be an oddity, but that is my experience. It is one of my top favorites.

[@eemo2093]

Nope, same with me. No performance issues at all.

[@oscarhind8346]

That’s the same with me. Some fragrances just perform differently on different people. I get easily 10 hours with oud wood and good projection for about 5 after the 10 hours I can still smell it on clothes and on pulse points but just not as strong

[@snowmanstreaming]

Same. Tried it once, and it stayed on my skin for at least 12 hours.

[@michaelcobb1559]

As a new perfumer, learning on my own, I love your videos so much, you really help with understanding materials and what they do, and how they perform. Thank you.

[@johnsweet5464]

I love this scent. But you're right Aaron, there is a definite performance issue for me. I don't need it beast mode, but it's a light skin scent after an hour on my skin. I use a dupe that is very close to the original, but it lasts and projects for a much longer time.

[@properfpv7160]

I recently tried Oud Wood for the first time and I really like it. Classy, easy to wear and beautiful. It does seem to fade to a skin scent but I still could noticeably smell it on me the next morning and my shirt still smelled lovely. It does linger and is a great smell. One of my favorite so far

[@jonaskalen1759]

Sadly it fades from my skin after 2 hours! So it’s really really bad.

Tbh aaron, I mentioned carved oud by Thameen to you ages ago and you said it's a dupe of oud wood, BUT it's cheaper more polished and just lovely, it literally is lovely stuff.

[@gazzap6664]

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. 😁

[@zenttofrizzy8479]

Perfume is a different kind of art because an artist can use contrast of beauty and ugliness to create strong emotions in us but perfume is only beauty and the pursuit of beauty it’s as we call it in french un acte d’esthète it’s about aesthetic…

[@gazzap6664]

@@zenttofrizzy8479 disagree... there are countless examples where a generally iunpleasant note is used with other notes to create something that challenges our noses. Dont know what "diffetent kind of art means"? Different from what and how are you defining the normal in art? It takes years of traoning and a fair dose of talent to create something beautiful in perfimery as it does in painting, cookery, carpentry and pretty much all artisanal persuits as I said. 😁.

[@Mirozenx]

I agree! When I was new to perfumery, I used to buy copycat fragrances because I didn't know about Facebook groups etc where you can buy samples of expensive fragrances I'd buy the inspired- by ones to try on my skin and to wear for extended periods, then I'd go to a shop and spray the real thing to compare side by side, then I'd buy the original expensive one if I liked it

[@philipface30]

I just bought Oud Wood and I don't have longevity issues. Its certainly not loud but it has staying power, especially on clothing. I didn't like it at first but it grew on me within a few weeks, works well on my skin.

[@PianoScoreVids]

Thanks to Richard Herpin for this creation! He also made Patchouli Absolu by TF, btw.

[@Top5Troy]

Oud Wood is easily the worst performing fragrance I've encountered. It's gone in 2 hours - not just a skin scent or fleeting/airy, but completely GONE. Returned it after a few days. Smells amazing for the 30 minutes it's actually present though. Great review!

[@HRKnol]

Hi Aaron, It used to be stronger in the gold label bottles, I own a 2007 and 2012 bottle. I also had a 2014 one that I didn't like that much but aging is a thing with Oud Wood, to me the newer ones have a strong anise accord that gives it a rubbery smell, that smoothens out when aged.

[@Dano_EightyEight]

I thought i smelled party balloons in the initial notes 😂

[@leroybrown8926]

Oriental comes from French meaning where the sun comes up. It means eastern. Occidental is where the sun goes down, in the west. If something comes from the east, it’s oriental. It’s a word, not a slur of any kind.

[@AKmaniac93]

Love the review! Oud wood is a timeless classic 😊 but for that price it has to last

[@kane4013]

Estée Lauder took away what made Tom Ford special. Accountants had a say with what went into the formulations.

[@Writer341]

Really ? I noticed that the brand changed in the last 2 years. I hate to say it but it became a little cheap. The mystique is no longer there. I hope the brand doesn’t end up like halston. Look up halston if you aren’t aware of who he was and what happened to his brand

I love Oud Wood. It was the first Tom Ford fragrance I obtained, back in 2015. I've never had a problem with the longevity and I can't speak for projection.

[@luisguillermoperezmejia7907]

Hola Aaron. Saludo cordial desde Medellín, Colombia. El tema de las "inspiraciones" es muy complejo. Entiendo que desarrollar un buen perfume puede tardar años y tener unos costos importantes, pero también tengo claro que las utilidades de una fragancia comercial y nicho son altísimas. Los márgenes son enormes. Todos quisiéramos tener el dinero para poder comprar fragancias originales, pero la realidad es que el 90% o más de la población mundial no podría hacerlo. De hecho ¿Que porcentaje de la población se puede dar el lujo de invertir 240 euros en un perfume?. Muy, muy, muy pocos. Por tanto limitar a las personas a disfrutar de una fragancia solamente a los originales, sería un acto de injusticia. Yo personalmente defiendo la posibilidad de producir y comercializar esas inspiraciones que le dan a esa mayoría sin capacidad económica, de disfrutar de acordes de su gusto. El hecho de que cada vez más sean importantes marcas como Lataffa, Maison Alhambra, Afnan, es una muestra de que millones de personas sienten lo mismo que Yo y no ven en este proceder una falta de moral.

[@carlosromero3324]

I love oud wood, i honestly think "Thameen - Carved oud" is way better and polished and lasts forever. I think its the same price as oud wood from what i remember..

[@fxylxy]

I'm wearing carved oud now. I haven't smelled oud wood before, it has a reputation for being weak so I went straight to Thameen's offering instead. I absolutely love carved oud, if this is what oud wood smells like, Tom Ford needs to pull their socks up when it comes to performance.

[@AmbercoolPhotography]

Tom Ford prices just went up again this week...

[@JoeCoplen]

They discontinued most of the cosmetic products like Body Wash, Deodorant, etc. Which is kind of a shame. I do have an original Oud Wood vintage bottle and it's not really different in my opinion. 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.

[@goodspeedko1]

my aged bottle (2y) of Amyris Homme by MFK has almost doubled its projection and longevity compared to when it was new.

[@nathanthomas5133]

Nope , i have bottles from 2007 & it is different. Oud Wood has been reformulated 3 or 4 times over the last 15 years.

[@Rell40]

I agree with that. So YSL la nuit de L'Homme I didn't get around to til 2019 and people always tell me the vintage batches are better. I got a vintage batch and didn't smell too much of a difference but yet fragrances I had for longer I always say the newer batches are weaker so you may be right

[@EggWafflehea]

I do think our pallet gets develop overtime and pickup thing that we couldn't before hens thinking the fragrance macerate overtime or it really did. Sometimes people say a new bottle smell exactly like their 10 year old bottle and I kinda believe those but when a pro like Aaron say that it's been reformulated then it gotta be.

[@fragitude]

From what I hear people's sense of smell just like other senses become less sensitive as we age so I wonder how much of it is the fragrance and how much of it is us.

[@dustin1219]

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.

[@JokerCOLD]

Why wear Oud Wood when you can wear "Oud" By Aaron terrence hughes? ATH's way better

[@hmandrandomnumbersafterwards]

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.

[@garychristopher5480]

Aaron your knowledge and passion for perfumery is on another level, its a pleasure to watch your channel. You sound like Tom Hardy.

[@SonicKiwi123]

Tbh in my experience in 2024, Oud Wood has decent performance by my standards. It's the perfect strength for the office. I bought mine from Nordstrom though, it's possible the people saying it has performance issues bought counterfeit bottles. It's so amazingly beautiful and despite being so absurdly expensive I'm yet to find an "inspired" fragrance that comes close to the same blend quality AND wonderful scent profile. I have to say, Fucking Fabulous is my signature scent, but I can't deny that Oud Wood is objectively so much more of a masterpiece than FF.

[@KHLthe2nd]

I'm curious about what you think of Versace Oud Noir and how much it compares to Oud Wood. I know they're not exact matches, but they are within the "ballpark" of scents.

[@misterbeane]

I know ATH is only a fan of clones when they resurrect discontinued frags, but in this case, Maison Alhambra's Woody Oud is borderline identical to TF Oud Wood AND it actually outperforms the TF by a MILE, at least the current formulations, anyways. I'd suppose that, by ATH's reasoning, then, TF Oud Wood has no real oud in it, as Woody Oud is WORLD'S better than Oud Wood, and it's not even close. If someone gifted me a bottle of the real thing, I'd sell it for the cash and just buy another $20 bottle of Woody Oud.

[@Thejustincredible500]

I think art draws inspiration from art always. Perfumers offering their take on a quality perfume is the beautiful thing about art. But when its no longer about offering your take - instead about cloning twisting and upselling, attempting to capitalize on popular demand, it loses its beauty. Common among these large companies it does seem

[@matthewrichards106]

You should have tried the GOLD private label version from 2009, I was so upset when they brought out this(black/silver bottle) version a few years ago...smelling this one the oud is SO synthetic and disappointing, little power and longevity of the original and in true Tom Ford style, the price goes up up up. The original was beast mode and I don't understand why it changed :(

[@olesyakoktyan6713]

Barely noticeable scent especially for the price one has to pay. Performance and projection are totally lacking unless using like 30 sprays. Luxurious? Maybe. But get a sample first and give it a full wear.

[@dans4786]

Your being is supernaturally calm. TF Oud wood is amazing scent and very unique.. and weak af.... which is why we buy the best clone. Absolute travesty to charge so much for performance like this.

[@YoTratoYTrato]

For a famous house to copy and slightly reformulate a popular niche fragrance and charge as much or more is reprehensible. I do have more respect for clone houses who copy a scent "and does it well" and admits it so they then can bring said fragrance to the average man/woman who will be able to afford it.

[@alexanderkipnis2329]

Longevity is nonexistent for the current formulation, I get less than two hours. Sillage is lacking too, after half an hour the fragrance sticks very closely to my skin. Such a shame, since the scent is absolutely stunning.

[@callmevil]

TF Oud Wood’s performance is hit or miss on my skin. Sometimes it is present well into the 8-10hr range, but sometimes it disappears within the 3-4hr range. Projection however is consistent where it stays within an arm’s length throughout. Got my 100ml bottle 2yrs ago. About other perfume houses releasing their own version or interpretation of Oud Wood.. Just as all designers have their own version of Chanel’s LBD (little black dress); a simple non colourful, non extravagant high-end black designer dress. It was so iconic in women’s fashion back then that it created its own category of dresses as more and more designers released their own version of the LBD. TF’s Oud Wood is to fragrances as Chanel’s LBD is to fashion. Both icons! Lol To me, Oud Wood is the perfume industry standard for ‘the non-animalic western designery oudy fragrance’ or at least it should be! Lol so I’m fine with other houses releasing their version of Oud Wood. Considering the amount of designer and niche perfumes released bearing close resemblance to Oud Wood, does this not show how widely appreciated Oud Wood is? I mean even if it were to get to Creed Aventus’s breadth of inspirations and copies, at least that also means more noses will get to appreciate and experience the brilliance of Oud Wood for themselves. Imagine if the Oud Wood scent becomes mainstream.. imagine diversifying the predominantly blue, sweet clubbing, and musky floral types of mainstream scents with Oud Wood? Yes please! Lol

Oud Wood was a purchase I was very excited about, I’ve loved several other TF fragrances, and I thought this one would be awesome too, so I blind-bought it, terrible mistake!! It smells nice… for about 30 minutes. I bought this from a full price retailer that is a TF distributor, do not a knock-off or a fake. It absolutely is one of the worst performing fragrances in my wardrobe. I’ve had friends use it so I could see if it was just my body chemistry. Nope. It’s just a terrible performer. It’s absolutely dead and gone in two hours. Worst $250 I’ve ever spent. Ruined me on TF.

I love oud wood but have had issues with the longevity so I take a decant with me and reapply it. I don’t mind dups or replicas that’s are better and cheaper. Dua is perfect for it. I wanna buy your frags from you but that shipping hurt my lil feelings 🤣. You’re a great perfumer and reviewer

The best from Tom Ford Master. 👏🏼

A dupe that is twice the cost??? Wtf.

Waiting for my paycheck to get the 9x10ml set from you Aron. I just bought 5 mancera fragrances, 2 oud fragrances from them and ofcourse aqua wood which I love. Also added quercia from acqua di parma. Can't wait to smell your fragrances :) .

How where they?

[@Prince_ee]

This used to be a unique perfume. Now it's very common, predictable, and getting old!

[@nathanthomas5133]

Who would have though that a perfume released 15 years ago would be ‘getting old’

Hi Arron, Ive just started using molicule ambroxan 02 mixed with molicule ISO E Super 01 as the Creed Viking Cologne I purchased for over £250 turned out to be weak only lasted 5mins then vanished into a skin scent. So I used ISO E to help ( plus now I'll also moisturise the area where my frag will be going to ). It worked but now I know you've reformulated Animalix to Carbon, I'll be giving that a try. As my next buys are Amouge Reflection 43 Man & Interlude 53 and Im hoping your Carbon will makje it better. Great upload as usual.

[@Qualltoxy]

What's better - using Ambroxan or Carbon?

[@SWTmel]

​@@Qualltoxygreat question. I have both and would love an answer. Have you decided?

I own a 2016 bottle, and it performs pretty well, i do not think, that it has to be a beast, it is a classy scent after all. I get 12 hours on my skin, afher the 6th hour i feel it weaker, but it is pretty solid performer on my skin.

[@danielkhhh]

That's just a straight up lie but go on 😂

[@KGR87]

@@Smoke_C i didnt mean that i get 12 hours of insane projection, 6 to 12 hour is a skin scent, i do not think that the classy scent has to overpower over your personality.
