Oud Wood is the oud Eau de Parfum that Tom Ford launched in 2007 in his Private Blend collection. Composed by Richard Herpin, it moves from rosewood, cardamom and Sichuan pepper to a smoky blend of oud, sandalwood and vetiver, warmed by tonka bean, vanilla and amber. With it, Tom Ford returned to oud five years after M7.
The house describes Oud Wood in three stages. Rosewood and cardamom open the composition and give way to a smoky blend of precious oud notes, sandalwood and vetiver; tonka bean and amber add warmth and sensuality.
Sichuan pepper completes the top and vanilla joins the base, alongside amber and tonka bean. Oud, sandalwood and vetiver form the heart, with no floral note announced.
What the label declares
The label declares, among others, coumarin, linalool, hydroxycitronellal, farnesol, limonene and cinnamyl alcohol. Coumarin echoes the announced tonka bean; tocopherol and dilauryl thiodipropionate are antioxidants.
