Perfumer Reviews "Oud Wood PARFUM" - Tom Ford

[@antoniobasilio8877]

That price is outrageous.

[@MrTonytalk]

Tbh if anything is this price and it’s not New York oud/satin mood ex/blue sapphire without 3 meter blast and 14 plus hours then it should be thrown away.

[@martianlynch6769]

@@MrTonytalkcurly’s new fragrance is about that much and the bottle is atrocious

[@ymugalul]

Correct! ​@@MrTonytalk

[@chayanne8198]

That's an understatement

[@dannyc91a]

Except its not though is it? Curly's is $250 for 100ml this Tom Ford is around $500 for 100ml@@martianlynch6769

[@vtrip_]

At $300+ it better be beastmode and Tom Ford himself should be delivering it personally.

[@terencedouglas1402]

This is why I love your videos because you're a perfumer chemist breaking down the science on a level that I can understand. I've learned so much from your channel and always look forward to each video. The only regret I have is not being able to smell any of your fragrances yet. Thanks Aaron for all of your content.

[@Adam_StefaniakSaltea_Moonspell]

Aaron, one day you should create something containing this DNA with your touch, because TF isnt gonna do for us. If there is anyone, its you! Greetings from Poland!

[@michaelbaez8417]

I love your honesty and thoughtfulness Aaron. I agree. With such a high price the consumer should be given more. Unfortunately with designer names that are so well known (like Tom Ford), the price is justified by the brand whether the quality is there or not. And to be honest, many of us wouldn't know the difference in materials being used if it weren't for such a skilled artist and craftsmen like yourself speaking on it. So thank you Aaron.

[@clearmind3022]

This is one of the few fragrance channels. I actually trust Aaron doesn't Fluff or Embellish when reviewing a fragrance. He's Clear, Concise and honest. I have made many purchases based off of his recommendations and reviews. All were 100% right on the money. Not a single regret. I started purchasing Aarons own fragrances. Unfortunately Got put on pause temporarily., I hope the shipping situation gets settled. I have many more to collect and Appreciate!

No sir😂 we do not have our bottles of oud wood parfum because the price is absolutely unbelievable and I'd never pay that much for a fragrance. And I love fragrances but that price is ridiculous. I wouldn't even wanna try it because if I Like that would be terrible for me. I'm not even willing to pay 200 for 50ml. I think it's just insane.

Aaron, your work is impressive. I want to give you a big acknowledgment and show my respect. You are enlightening us on how we should comprehend, assess, interpret the scent, and validate the cost. In particular, your insights on the quantity of Oud and the transparency were astonishing. Grateful for all the hard work you put into keeping us aware.

[@sayhellotoroy]

Sick pricing policy.... I don't get it. I can even tolerate Creed's pricing for 100ml in Europe and I have 4 Creed fragrances. There are some good TF perfumes but I cannot justify price tag for myself.

[@Fragman-Scoop]

A fair rating all things considered. I like the way ATH rates fragrances it makes sense. I also enjoy gaining a nugget of knowledge on the science behind brewing oud. This channel is an essential for any fragrance enthusiast.

[@AE-xb9uw]

No one else is reviewing it, probably because they don't want to pay for a bottle.

[@reallyisthatguy]

he said he would made it short no ramblin but he went on with oud and oud and oud HAHA now that's a man who loves his craft and his favorite ingredient.

[@madfrosty5228]

Tom ford is overrated especially considering the prices , you can get so much more with some of the other companies ...

[@FractalSoul1111]

I appreciate the chemistry behind it but I really think it should be rated on SMELL and staying power. Or perhaps a separate rating accordingly.

[@YellowBrickFloyd]

Love your reviews. Thank you for your honesty, teaching, and coaching on fragrances. For me....Way too expensive for an average buyer like myself and at lower ml. Sorry, I can't get past that no matter how great it is. Maybe if I was a moviestar I could afford it. Or if someone gifted it to me. On to the next vid.

[@brandisayre6371]

My friend, I'm not complaining or saying anything negative in any way, but seeing you in a collared shirt made me do a double take. 😊 I'd rather buy your stuff than TF any day!

[@garydc1057]

Brilliantly articulated - it's so clear that a terrific amount of thought went into constructing this entire review script, and that really transmits. Very well considered.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I thought about what I wanted to say for about a week! I am pleased the review is being well received. It was done in one take! I felt happy with it after I filmed

[@MrMannydac]

The price. We are looking at these expensive fragrances from working class/middle class perspectives, and it’s expensive. But Tom Ford and a lot of the other houses are luxury brands that were originally marketed to rich people, and to them, 300 quid isn’t a lot, they’ll spend that on a t-shirt that they’ll wear a few times. I’m not defending these prices btw, it just is what it is.

[@apothe6]

So this is a 10/10 if you steal it from the drug store 🤣

[@Civilian_Patriot]

I usually draw the line at $340 like with Creed Absolu, but if this is better than the OG like that one, I will cop. I’ll prob just wait till it hit discounters tho

[@vpeso5574]

Can you review oud maracuja?

[@briannam2953]

I think the price is going to doom this one to an early grave. I'll wait for discounters to get a bottle.

[@BossFrederik]

He is going through the same stages, looks wise, as jeremy before he went crazy lol

[@bmoneybby]

Unfortunately, I think we all are just realizing how much companies have to charge to make a profit off of perfume these days. You just literally had to stop selling to other countries because it was too expensive, and your fragrances are not cheap themselves. Getting absolutely nuts.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

UGH. ATH is triggered! 😅DHL totally lied and caused so many problems!

[@sekivzd]

Could u please review Van exstacy or Van py rhum by Lorenzo Pazzaglia?

No way anyone is paying north of 300£ for a half-baked Oud Wood parfum. I feel like they’re pulling a page out of Creed’s book with the Absolu’ Aventus.

I really don’t think the price is crazy for Tom Ford. It’s very expensive but It’s the exact same as every other Tom Ford fragrance.

[@Brebs]

i wonder if it's smooth or not

[@keep_walking_on_grass]

And if it's worth the price.😊

[@Jakobmyershowareyou]

Thank you for educating us! Love your videos

[@danniia1827]

This is the most criminal scam in the history of perfumery. The original eau de parfum formulation that was being sold was this exact version now being sold as Parfum! We were already getting this quality for half the price, but they reformulated it and thinned it down to the point it now smells faint with a shocking cheap alcoholic opening and weak performance, so if you want the same original Oud Wood you were buying before you gotta pay TWICE the price... I love Oud Wood but I stopped buying it after reformulation and I refuse to pay extra to get the real quality juice. Just get Thameen Carved Oud, or even Spirit of Kings Zaurac, cause this is a scam!

[@38mickbell]

Think you’re being very gracious here, Aaron. The price point is ridiculous and frankly they’re taking the p*ss, it’s the same frag that was originally sold 10 years ago. I just bought a brand new, 100ml bottle of carved Oud (which is an extrait) for £120, which again highlights just how ridiculous this price point is.

[@lukawalli]

They can't verify because there is no real oud in there...simple as that. If there was, they would probably communicate it. It's just Estee Lauder trying to milk the Tom Ford cow. I love love LOVE Oud Wood and I'm ok with spending 200€+ on good perfumery, but for this money I stick with the EDP, I'm just glad I got a batch that performs pretty good on my skin.

[@Trax17032]

Retail here in the states $450 for 50mil. Neiman Marcus. I got my nose on it and love it, but 400+?!?!?! Sorry Tommy. I'm tired of TF prices and I own a lot of them. It's just flat out insane, and most underperform.

[@robertstanderford8438]

Scents are alot like personality. Too boustrious = offensive. But, too subdued = not noticeable or effective. That balance is rough on both.

[@mohsinchoudhury85]

ive got the EDP and Intense, so definitely will be adding Parfum to the collection. would have liked it if you compared all three. but as i remember, i don't think you like the intense?

[@seanp7871]

Great review 👍 The price is ridiculous . No deal 🙅‍♂️

[@nahuwoldemariam3865]

I’m sure it’s amazing because I have Oud Wood and I love it. But 330£…😨. I’ll wait for Woody Oud Parfum by Maison Al Hambra 😀

[@kieranb7747]

personally always found TF fragrances overrated and really similar. they all pretty much smelled the same to me.

[@namzarf]

Did you get married? Engaged? Or am I just slow in noticing that you're wearing a ring? Or is it none of my damn business? :o) Congratulations, if it's the former, apologies if otherwise. As for the Oud Wood---does an anaerobic process add that much to the cost?

[@MrPunkdrunk78]

ATH Tobac is the best Oud fragrance I’ve come across, so if I had to pick between Oud Wood and Tobac it would be a no brainier. Plus Tobac has way better longevity.

[@roccochomsky2318]

If you really want to know what this smellslike and you are from Generation X, think Spencer's Gifts circa 1990

[@aytac007]

its £450 plus for 50ml in the uk, tom ford is joke, how can people afford to pay £400 to 500 for a perfume, not worth getting for that price, the max price for the perfume shoulld be between £170 and £250 for 50ml

[@AnonAnonAnon]

A very interesting and informative video. Thank you Aaron. I have TF Oud Wood EDT and its interesting to know the background for its production. TF Oud Wood is my goto fragrance for a night out clubbing.

I love Oud Wood. But these prices are getting ridiculous. Nope. Not buying. Enough is enough.

[@georgeatte788]

At about 400 euros, I would much rather get something from Amouage which has a larger bottle 100ml. I'm guaranteed much better sillage and performance and their woody scents are incredible.

[@dph8890]

Being a fan of oud wood I was very curious about the Parfum version,,,, unfortunately it is only a shade of Oud Wood!!!

[@leonardosilva2610]

Everyone is just a bit delusional. Niche and designers are really going for the money grab lately. A lot of repetitive uninspiring fragrances with huge price tags. Hell no!

[@witness445]

Not sure if you're aware, but there are more companies you can use instead of the one you didn't like, and stopped international shipping because of. Many people in the fragrance community very unhappy with it. Just saying 😀

[@IliyaYanev]

Knowing what else fits into that price category why would you buy it unless you are some Oud Wood maniac, you can do better in that price bracket.

Love when you discuss the process of making raw perfumery ingredients it really shows how much work goes into a small bottle of cologne

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I’m so pleased. Perfumery is really complex and difficult

[@caoslikewhoa]

I’ve got to be honest , I have never smelled oud wood because of the price… I did buy Thameen carved oud because I heard it was similar but even better ( I couldn’t believe ) but. To this day it is my only empty bottle within my collection…. Soon to be imbue .. ( classic smooth formulation of GUCCI POR HOMME II ) done by Parfums vintage

[@ТоняЗаліська]

Me too, it smells so good. I have to re-purchase. The performance is very good on Carved Oud also

[@SamBulova]

Just an FYI Tom Ford has stepped down from the brand and the name is owned by estee lauder.

[@Poemwriter_Angelo]

drinking game: each time when he says 'smoothness' 😂 i guess i'd stick to the original

[@AE-xb9uw]

I have a bottle. The smell is like an 11/10 considering that Oud Wood EDP is like a 9 or 10 out of 10 smell-wise. Definitely over-priced and the performance is only marginally improved over the EDP on my skin. If I was a rich man, I'd make it my signature scent. As I am not, I will wear it sparingly.

[@cameronhuff3494]

I like this one alot it's sexy, complete feeling, it's more expensive but it's worth it..esp when it hits discounters in a month for 250 ish usd.. I know you don't like the oud wood intense ..I love the castoreum. I will say that I get more compliments from men on the intense..ps you looked really great in the oud wood intense video.

‼️Please review Woods Symphony by Amouage - the newer one. Not so new, but it comes in the brown signature Amouage bottle. I recently tested it, and I absolutely loved it. It was designed by the same LV designer and has a very unique touch, unlike many other Amouage fragrances.

[@PhillipDrumz]

How many sprays in a 50ml I wonder ??

[@cloudlessmind888]

I agree with you Aaron. If other fine raw materials such as silver, gold & diamonds are certified, then Oud, Ambergris, or other rare materials should be too. Unfortunately, The Estée Lauder Companies are even bigger than Tom Ford, which they bought last year, so I’m sure the merri-go-round of reformulations to amp up the profit, & dilute the fragrance, will begin soon. Then, niche perfumers are left to struggle against these monopoly - like businesses.
