Tom Ford Oud Wood Eau de Parfum wraps rare oud in a refined structure where exotic rosewood and cardamom rise into a smoky blend of precious woods, before tonka bean and amber cast a smooth, enveloping warmth. The aura feels plush yet polished, modern without harshness, and unmistakably luxurious on skin, making it a signature that moves easily from cool offices to elegant evenings while staying comfortably intimate rather than overwhelming.

Story & Positioning
A cornerstone of Tom Ford Private Blend, Oud Wood helped define a modern Western take on oud with a clean, luminous woodiness supported by spice and amber. Its influence continues through related releases such as Oud Wood Intense and Oud Wood Parfum, and the house’s ongoing oud explorations like Oud Voyager. The profile is frequently emulated by value lines seeking its smooth cardamom wood signature, which speaks to its benchmark status in contemporary perfumery.
Bottle & Design
The Private Blend flacon presents deep translucent brown glass, a crisp front plaque, and an architectural square stopper reminiscent of a chess piece. The proportions feel substantial in hand, and the restrained palette suits a refined dressing table while remaining practical for daily use.
