Tom Ford Private Blend Oud Wood Eau de Parfum is a 50ml woody, slightly smoky unisex fragrance — one of the brand's most iconic and accessible takes on the precious agarwood note. Pink pepper and cardamom give way to a refined heart of oud, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli, finished with smooth vanilla, tonka and amber.
About Tom Ford Private Blend
Tom Ford is the American luxury fashion and beauty house known for elegant, slightly subversive design. The Private Blend collection sits at the top of the brand's fragrance offering — a curated, more niche-leaning line of compositions designed to be more characterful and personal than mainstream designer scents. Oud Wood, launched in 2007 and composed by perfumer Richard Herpin, is the line's beloved entry point into oud perfumery.
Fragrance notes
- Top: cardamom, pink pepper, rosemary
- Heart: sandalwood, agarwood (oud), patchouli, vetiver
- Base: vanilla, tonka bean, amber
How it wears
The fragrance opens slightly spicy and refined — cardamom and pink pepper sparkle against a touch of dry rosemary, giving an immediate sense of polished sophistication. The heart turns deeper and more characterful: smooth agarwood is wrapped in creamy sandalwood, soft patchouli and earthy vetiver, creating the unmistakable Oud Wood signature without veering into the heavy, smoky territory of more traditional Middle Eastern oud compositions. As it dries down, vanilla, tonka bean and amber bring a comforting, slightly sweet warmth that keeps the woody heart approachable and skin-close.
Who it's for
Oud Wood is for those drawn to refined, niche-leaning perfumery — wearers exploring oud and resinous woods for the first time, fans of Tom Ford's wider Private Blend collection, and anyone seeking a unisex signature with weight and quiet luxury. It is well suited to those moving from designer florals or fougères into more characterful niche territory, and is a particularly thoughtful gift for fragrance enthusiasts.
How and when to wear it
Best worn from late afternoon into evening, and especially flattering through autumn and winter when the woody-amber base really sings on warm skin. Spray two to three times onto the chest, neck and inside the wrists. Oud Wood pairs beautifully with cashmere, suede, dark tailoring and slightly textured wardrobes — a refined choice for dinners, dates, theatre and formal occasions.
