Tom Ford Cologne - Oud Wood Eau De Parfum (2007)

Oud Wood Eau De Parfum




Fragrance Notes
Top Notes: Cardamom, Rosewood, Pepper
Heart Notes: Oud, Sandalwood, Vetiver
Base Notes: Amber, Tonka bean, Vanilla
 
I have to express my love for Oud wood which stands out on its own as something which I believe is incredibly sexual and conjured up images of Eroticism and Passion.

The initial spray on to my skin is a very creamy oud which is unexpected because I was expecting something harsh and very masculine, I was expecting something very spicy and very "hard" but instead it seems as though the Oud and vanilla have created a marriage which has resulted in the Oud transforming into something very creamy, as if it were literally dripping vanilla. Rosewood, Tonka and Pepper further heighten the fragrance offering something a bit more complex and a lot more "adult". Oud Wood isn't the most original scent but it wins points with its incredible and unashamed sexiness and its fantastic lasting power.

This fragrance is a testament to what I love so much about fragrances, because it communicates with me not only through my nose but through my emotions. I can’t help but feel like a naughty school boy all over again when I wear this. It makes me want to be mischievous, it makes me want to be passionate, and it makes me want to be physical. Whilst I believe that some of Tom ford's scents are severely over-priced. Oud Wood is worth every single penny.

Sprays - 3 - ( one at base of the neck and then each wrist) 
Longevity - very long lasting (9+ hours)
Sillage - huge
Compliments - high
