Oud Wood(2013)

Tom Ford (Private Blend) · Richard Herpin · Woody

At a glance

Created by Richard Herpin for Tom Ford's Private Blend collection, Oud Wood opens on oud, rosewood, and cardamom, moves through a heart of sandalwood and vetiver, and closes on amber, vanilla, and tonka bean. Its smooth, accessible, warmly spiced treatment of oud, less medicinal and animalic than many traditional Middle Eastern oud compositions, helped introduce the material to a broader Western luxury audience and remains one of the most popular and frequently cited fragrances within Tom Ford's exclusive line.
