Oud Wood by Tom Ford Eau De Parfum For Men 50ml

Product Information

Luxurious oud, with leathery facets, extracted from Aquilaria trees native to the northeastern region of the country, leaves a lingering trail, softened with velvety sandalwood. Presented in a crafted box designed to look like a book, the ultraviolet glass bottles protect and preserve the fragrance from sunlight and features a hallmarked sterling silver talisman in the cap of the bottle. The scent itself varies considerably depending on the wood used, where the tree was grown and whether the tree itself was cultivated or naturally infected. The trees are grown throughout South-East Asia, India and Bangladesh and agarwood is said to be the most expensive timber in the world – indeed, one of the most expensive of all natural raw ingredients.

Tom Ford Oud Wood Decanter 250ml fragrance Tom Ford Oud Wood Decanter 250ml fragrance

While many oud-based fragrances can be overwhelming, this one has a softer side and is therefore as appropriate for day as it is for night. Les Parfums Infinis, a collection of 13 fragrances based on different archetypes, uses no chemical solvents and is as long-lasting as any traditional eau de parfum.An oud unlike any other; Oud Eclat, turns this mesmerising but often polarising perfumery ingredient on its head. While all of the LV fragrances are genderless, it is the one that speaks loudest to the stereotypes of masculinity. Each fragrance spotlights an iconic Indian material (flowers, spices, herbs and woods) as its muse; Agar Épicé (literally translated as Spiced Oud), obviously takes oud as its leading actor and is one of the collection’s best performances. Combining the almost sacrilegious oud wood with exotic rosewood, cardamom, Chinese pepper, sandalwood, vetiver, tonka bean, vanilla and amber, it has set an industry standard and in turn, become a bestseller.

TOM FORD Private Blend Oud Wood Eau De Parfum, 50ml

When this fragrance starts to dry down, some sweet hints of vanilla and tonka bean can be noticed, blending in beautifully with the rich and warm scent of woods and oud. Its new Private Collection, which houses four of the brand’s most iconic scents, pays homage to perfumery’s most exclusive and prized essences. Even though Vuitton is a relative newcomer to the world of fine fragrance, Jacques Cavalier Belletrud’s perfumes for the house are some of the most accomplished out there, with Ombre Nomade being the jewel in the crown. Ormonde Jayne’s Elixir range of five premium fragrances, unveiled in 2019, is essentially a rebirth of five of this British fragrance brand’s best-selling and most cherished classics, each reinterpreted with a dose of oud from Cambodia.This Harrods exclusive brings unprecedented complexity to the opulent character of oud; a fragrance that doesn’t hold back. Paying tribute to the traditions of the Middle East, it opens with the same Mediterranean citrus fruits common to its signature Colonia fragrance before delving deep into the rich flavours of coriander, amayris wood, sandalwood, cedarwood, agarwood (oud), musk and patchouli. Master perfumer, Emilie Bouge, was able to reset the perception of this majestic material by using oud as part of the scent’s top notes instead of the base where it would more commonly be found. LilaNur Parfums is the first luxury fragrance house to be born out of India; surprising given the country’s abundance of natural perfumery ingredients. A rare and precious jewel with plenty of Eastern promise, the oud accord that is celebrated is joined by Italian bergamot, pink pepper, ambrette seeds, suede, birch, jasmine and vanilla.
