1 to 1 comparison

Private oud starts a bit more pungent than oud wood, but after 10 minutes it becomes clearly pleasant. During the whole course of the fragrance is private oud mMn a tad fresher than the original, which is not so bad. About the durability you read different opinions. I belong to those who smell private oud significantly longer on the skin than oud Wood.
On my skin:
OW = 2-3 hours
PO = 5-6 hours

Unfortunately, I didn't know oud Wood before I bought private oud blind. I have only in the last few days by chance of a parfumo a free sample of OW get and thus I could compare the two. Both the original and the P/L moderately well done dupe is not for me. Am but pretty sure that private oud will have his fans.

So who wants to have oud Wood a tad fresher with better durability and significantly cheaper, is in good hands with private oud.

Long lasting velvety

Compared to the original (Oud Wood) the copy starts a little more intense, almost austere, but it quickly develops into a very pleasing, more durable and better projecting alternative of the original. Regarding H&S you can read here different opinions but I had the impression in direct comparison that Private Oud performs better. From about an hour it is hardly distinguishable from the original. The bottle is also very high quality and heavy. This is compared to Tom Ford of course a completely different presentation but who is ready to make a few small compromises is in good hands with Rihanah with Private Oud.

No clone

Honestly, I have wondered about comparisons with Oud Wood and the term ,,clone" seems downright ridiculous to me. The scents are miles away from each other, I would speak at most of a similar category. A good indicator is my partner, who adores Oud Wood. When I first put on Private Oud just before I met her, she just asked me what smells so penetrating and really bad here. I admit that I was a bit shocked about this extremely negative reaction, because I definitely perceived Privat Oud as a completely different scent, but not so negative. However, I too have to confirm a musty accord in the drydown that becomes very dominant and further negatively impacts the initial impression. There is no question that no real oud is included, or at least no oil of the category 1A. Because there are supposed to be much cheaper, genuine oud, but that contains undesirable fragrance chords (one of them is musty, as in a damp, moldy apartment). My guess is that they tried to cover up this accord with other oriental oils but it comes through later. For fine noses, however, there is definitely no resemblance to Oud Wood. Are you equipped with such and looking for a cheaper alternative to TF Oud Wood, this is not for you

Warm but not too sweet

This scent was the first oud scent I tried. I had already heard a lot about Oud Wood and the hope with this dupe for less money to get an idea of what this pleasing oud fragrance, of which so much is raved about, constitutes. In the first 10min I was a bit confused, because Private Oud didn't seem as pleasing as the reputation of Oud Wood promised. After about half an hour, however, it made sense: somehow this scent radiates an incredibly warm coziness without being particularly sweet. Since I'm not really a fan of sweet and warm fragrances, I was happy with my purchase and put the bottle on my nightstand for a while. There it should remain for several weeks, because it developed almost to a ritual shortly before going to bed again briefly to dive into this pleasantly warm scent feeling. For comparison, I tried a sample of the supposed original: Tom Ford Oud Wood, but this could not convince me as Private Oud. Somehow OW was just a little shallower and more pleasing, but did not trigger this intense feeling of security in me as it was the case with Private Oud As a conclusion, I can therefore say that Private Oud surpasses its big brother (OW) in my opinion in the intensity and atmosphere and is only a little stricter in the top note. Also in terms of durability and sillage, Private Oud seems to me to be a bit superior. If you then also take into account that Private Oud costs only a fraction of Oud Wood I would definitely recommend to give the little brother a chance.

Same direction as OW? YES! Same? NO!

I had once a long time ago Oud Wood smelled and Private Oud bought as a blind purchase.
I thought to myself crass that smells 1:1 the same very gentle, soft and pleasant.

Then I bought OW as a sample and compared directly:

OPENING of Private Oud is very pungent and has what of dentist but it settles very quickly.
After 30 min is a note in the Private Oud when I smell shortly before OW me really disturbs, I think it is the rose here very strong smell.

I would describe Private Oud as lighter, softer, rosier and OW as darker, woodier, spicier.

Recommend Private Oud to the 20 year old and Oud Wood to the 30ü year old.

I extremely liked Private Oud until I smelled Oud Wood, now something about this scent bothers me.

To the durability: After 12 hours I let someone smell my arm where I applied PO and it still smelled strong and projected to half a meter, another 4 hours later after a shower one smelled it still.
