Oud & me ? No friends

I ordered the Tom Ford classic in the hope that I would somehow like the #2 unisex fragrance. Even though I generally don't like oud fragrances.

Well .... Nevertheless, I thought I couldn't go wrong with such a successful and positively spoken perfume. So? Blind buy.

Was it stupid? Yes ! Absolutely.

The fragrance notes are very perceptible. You can smell a strong oud with some spices like cardamom and sandalwood.
Apart from that? Lots and lots of oud.
Oud here, oud there. Far too much of this stuff for my gourmand-friendly nose.

It became penetratingly annoying. 2 sprays are enough to have this scent in your nose everywhere.

I therefore found the H/S to be absolutely solid, much to my discomfort.

The bottle remains a TF classic. It lacks some contrast, but well ... suits the fragrance ^^

Price / performance? Well ... I don't think I've ever spent sooo much money on such a bad fragrance.

After a few, really a few hours on the skin, I finally smell something pleasant. That saves it a little and ensures that Oud Wood is not the worst fragrance I have ever tested.

But I won't be testing any more oud fragrances any time soon.
