Not just for an office anymore !

REACTION!
So, I recently received my bottle of Tom Ford Oud Wood Parfum.
I generously spritzed myself and I can say - this is fantastic perfume!

PROS:
️ The same DNA as the EDP version, but darker, more refined, lasts twice as long on my skin
️ (The EDP version lasts 3-4 hours on me with a low projection, the Parfum version - 8-9 hours with a medium projection).
️ Lots of high-quality natural materials such as: cardamom, patchouli, pink pepper, vetiver, rosemary.
️ Balanced formula. OWP smells special, rounded, nothing is too much or too little, such a balanced fragrance is rare even among the best niche brands.
️ Thameen Carved Oud (a niche OW variant) doesn’t compare to the OWP version in terms of refinement, natural materials, longevity, or projection.
️ The fragrance is not linear, it changes significantly on the skin, I suspect the musks react very nicely with the skin’s “chemistry” and the perfume becomes even more intense after an hour than just when sprayed, becoming more sexy.

CONS:
️ Price! These perfumes will start at 429 euros for a 50ml bottle, which means they are much more expensive than most niche perfumes…
️ The Oud! I don’t feel the real oud, and with such a price, I want not just oud and sandalwood accords, but real materials…
️ On the blotter, the fragrance is very uniform and weak, so it needs to be tested only on the skin.

My CONCLUSION:
Those who plan to buy these perfumes must really love the Oud Wood DNA, because it is an extremely expensive pleasure, but without a doubt the best TF attempt to revive Oud Wood, as it solves all EDP issues: projection, longevity on the skin, fragrance progression, and refinement (since OW is mostly considered as a “for office” scent, whereas this version is more “for special occasions”).

Incredibly beautiful scent!

So I wore it now a couple of times and I'm absolutely in love.

It's quite similar to the edp but less fresh, a bit less spicy but smoother, richer, deeper. I actually like it quite a bit more compared to the edp which is already excellent.

Performance is definitely better with the Parfum, especially longevity and sillage. The projection might be a bit less in the first hour or so and afterwards the edp is already almost gone anyway.

Compared to Carved Oud Extrait de Parfum and Kredo I like the Oud Wood Parfum way better.

The Carved oud has a weird "fresher" note in it which I don't like and for me it's actually not that similar to the Oud Wood DNA.

Kredo is quite close to the DNA in my opinion but it has an quite animalic and dirty oud which completely changes the appeal for me. The Oud Wood DNA shines especially because of the very clean, a bit medicinal smelling oud, which gives this composition it's extremely sophisticated and refined appeal. I believe the Oud Wood Parfum contains quite high quality clean smelling real oud. Thus, Kredo with its lower quality animalic oud is not on the same level in my opinion, although the DNA is quite close.

The only other contender I did no test is Oud Noir Intense. So i am not sure if it's better, but I heard its also not so close to the OG DNA and contains also a bit more animalic oud.

All in all I love the Parfum Version and I think it's by far the best iteration of this DNA currently on the market.

Of course the retail price is outrages and the performance is a bit disappointing for the price point. But if you can get it for 200 - 250 € I think it's absolutely worth it if you love the DNA.

For me it's a masterpiece and one of the best scents I currently know.

Update: Today I wore 6 sprays (which isn't so much as the atomizer is not really good and sprays quite a small amount) on my clothes (I never do on skin) and I still can smell it quite strongly on my clothes after around 10 hours and it had quite a bit of projection up until around 7 hours. So I'm actually quite alright with the performance. Now the only issue left is the high price and the cool looking but kinda plastiky cheap bottle with quite a bad atomizer.

Farewell letter to Tom Ford

A few years ago, I immersed myself in the world of luxurious fragrances through the Tom Ford brand. I remember it like it was only yesterday. On a city trip to Berlin, I visited the KaDeWe store on a cold, rainy fall day and entered a new world for me.

A young, attractive lady at the Tom Ford stand showed me various fragrances from the brand and I was immediately smitten. The fragrances, of course, so that there are no misunderstandings here. And then came the moment. I smelled the iconic Oud Wood Eau de Parfum for the first time and was speechless.

I had never smelled anything so beautiful before. It was like a drug, because I couldn't stop smelling my wrist. What I would give to be able to smell this fragrance for the first time again? I bought it that day and a short time later I also bought Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum.

It sounds stupid and it probably is stupid, but I felt different when I walked down the street wearing one of these fragrances. A magical aura enveloped me. I only used the perfume on special occasions so that this magic would never become an everyday occurrence for me.

Several of my friends also bought Oud Wood Eau de Parfum a short time later because they were also fascinated by this woody, spicy-sweet fragrance.

For a long time, nothing came close to Oud Wood for me. It was my holy grail. A few years have passed since then and I still have Oud Wood Eau de Parfum in my small, well-stocked collection. The longevity is now a joke, but it has a special place in my heart.

I followed the release of the new Oud Wood Parfum with great interest and this time, too, I was speechless. However, because of the audacity that the Tom Ford brand brings to its loyal customers!

It felt like the Oud Wood Eau de Parfum was watered down more and more every year until the durability became so bad that even at a price of €40 you would be disappointed with the quality of the perfume. How is the Tom Ford brand reacting to the growing criticism from many customers?
They are launching a "new" Oud Wood that simply has the longevity of the old version of Oud Wood Eau de Parfum and charging €390 for 50ml. That's a big middle finger to all loyal customers!

I am aware that we are talking about a luxury brand that is aimed at a specific target group. But at some point, enough is enough.

Does the new Oud Wood Parfum smell good? Of course it does! Has it been slightly reworked? Of course. Do you need the new Oud Wood if you want to smell this wonderful fragrance for more than two hours? Of course! Because with the "old" Oud Wood, two hours is already a long time.

I mentioned the poor longevity in the official Tom Ford store in Munich because I gave my wife Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum for her birthday and the longevity here is also a bottomless impertinence. Now hold on tight.

Since I bought the Lost Cherry at Breuninger (and not at his store), the salesperson at the TF store tried to tell me that it must probably be a fake product. Please what?

Sorry, but I don't want to support such arrogance and audacity any longer. When my fragrance journey began a few years ago with Oud Wood, I didn't know that other mothers had beautiful daughters too. Eh, I mean other brands have good fragrances.

It's a shame that my recession has turned out like this now, because I really love this fragrance.

I'm worth it... right?

Oud Wood and I - it's a kind of love story: the reason why I ended up here on Parfumo, my ticket into the world of niche fragrances, my first real big love, so to speak.

Then as now, the topic of longevity was and is a big point of discussion, although I noticed one constant: when I consciously tested the fragrance for the first time in 2018 and then bought a 100ml bottle with "shelf life problems" (some batch from 2017), I came across all the discussions about batches, reformulations and weaknesses for the first time.
I still have the bottle from 2018 and another one (250 ml) from 2020 - both last their 8 hours wonderfully, radiate moderately and are the two go-to fragrances for me in the office.
In the souk, the batches from 2018 are sometimes traded at horrendous prices and I am convinced that a big point is the post-maturing rather than the reformulations.

So - and now a jump to the year 2024.
When I heard about the latest release, I was thrilled: an Oud Wood as a perfume, supposedly stronger, longer-lasting, rumored to be of the same quality as the very first Oud Wood fragrances from 2007.

I was able to test the fragrance in Harrod's in London - and bought it. For a whopping 330 pounds.
Admittedly: I had to restrain my facial derailment enormously and keep my facial expressions extremely under control when the lady told me the price. I didn't want to back down - and somehow: I'm worth it... right?
About the fragrance itself: Straightforward, clean, intense and strong.
For me, definitely the fragrance I will wear on a date.

It has far fewer rough edges than the original (EDP), is less deep, but is denser, creamier and thicker.
Oud Wood Parfum follows the classic program, appears smooth due to the cardamom, which gives a cooling distance, but captivates the other person with its warm woods and spices.
The pungent Szechuan pepper (don't worry, I honestly don't smell any difference to "normal" pepper) and the warming amber balance each other out harmoniously.
The spices give me the impression that they contain some kind of gingerbread spices, in very gentle, homeopathic doses: this makes the fragrance seem sweeter than its role model. Clearly not something I would wear to the office [he says, knowing full well that he also regularly "delights" his colleagues with Alexandria II, Tobacco Vanilla and other bombs in the office].

Now to the question of all questions: How does it hold up? For me, it's definitely stronger and better than the EDP. But this is probably also due to the fact that the sweetness of the spices and the denser woods add a certain "thickness" and "fullness" that are not present in the original.
The sillage is moderate, it certainly doesn't take up any space, but is nevertheless more noticeable than its model for the first few hours as it passes by.
For me, the magic still happens on the skin, when the fragrance is still strong enough to fascinate the other person and at the same time pulls back a little, becomes a little quieter and the other person has to come a little closer to smell more of it.

Is the fragrance worth the price?
I think the price-performance ratio of different fragrances is as individual as tastes are.
You could also ask the question of whether a person is worth flying business or first class, whether it absolutely has to be a 5-star hotel, whether the Porsche in the garage is really necessary...
The fragrance, like the business or first class flight, the 5-star hotel and the Porsche, is a luxury good that has long since left the premium segment behind.
It is a composition with a price tag. You are either prepared to pay this price for luxury - or not.
Personally, I am happy and delighted to be able to call a 50ml bottle my own and will wear this fragrance in honor on our weekly date night or on other very special occasions.

In the end, I believe the fragrance will find its target audience.
Whether it is worth it is up to the individual.

Welcome back legend! / Best Tom Ford release in years....!

Hello everyone,

here is an unfiltered and honest opinion on the perfume by Oud Wood.

I've been hoping for a very long time, to be honest for a few years (even before Corona), but now you're here. I really didn't expect much - why?

The latest releases such as Bitter Peach Eau de Parfum , Electric Cherry , Cherry Smoke and Vanilla Sex were..., let's say it lovingly =were expandable ;) or really really bad. Extremely synthetic, looked really very cheap and the performance was really bad and I'm not even talking about the price... because it was a cheek but it was right.

Since the release of Oud Wood Eau de Parfum, I loved and adored it, and I'm sure some people did too. But in 15/ 16 I turned my back on Oud Wood Eau de Parfum, on the one hand due to constant and annoying price adjustments and YES it got worse and worse every year...

Over the years, well-known houses took the rough formula and "built" an extrait and those have created something very good, on the one hand the Kredo and on the other the Carved Oud Extrait de Parfum and both were a really neat interpretation with a performance that the Oud Wood Eau de Parfum unfortunately never had...

We had to wait all these years and I think the Oud Wood perfume came out more or less spontaneously at the beginning of March. So I (!) didn't notice anything...

What is it like?

90% to 95% copy - paste/ exactly the same. The differences are hardly recognizable from the fragrance character, it is just as great, pleasing, elegant, timeless and simply beautiful as the old one!

Welcome back, legend!

Is there anything negative to say?

That TF (unfortunately) doesn't use the most expensive and highest quality raw materials = oils is well known, but it doesn't bother me (especially here). However, there are still 2 things that make me feel slightly negative. Firstly, the really astronomical price...., WE don't have to afford a certain luxury, I know.... In general, this is a tedious topic... I'll just say this, at the end of the day for me as a businessman there is always the point of price - performance and Tom Ford is far from doing well, so much for that.

And secondly, the OVP, sprayer, cap and label..., yes the bottle is iconic like for example the Le Mâle Eau de Toilette, but is iconic good enough...? ? NO! To be honest, those are really modest and seem very cheap = plastic his father and that at the price...., you have to want that! (I always think to myself when I spend hundreds of euros on a fragrance and then see something like this...phew...
(There are other/better and higher quality solutions....)

H/S good to good+ , especially the durability is the one that can be emphasized!

When and where?

Then as now = ALWAYS!

If I really wasn't convinced, I wouldn't recommend it to you! (Testing for aficionados is practically mandatory..., isn't it ;) ! )

And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny
