I am really enjoying my sample of TF Oud Wood and was curious if anyone can recommend something similar. If it helps I am finding that I prefer woody scents...
You'd think I could recommend an oud oil. Alas, TF's Oud Wood doesn't smell like oud.
Ha!
I've heard this but there is something about TF Oud wood I like...
BTW...what is Oud like and what scents that highlight Oud would you recommend?
There is a Oud Wood knock off out there that does a good job. A number of folks here have used both and I can attest that it is indeed very similar. I'll see if i can't find the name.
Tom Ford's Oud Wood is absolutely fantastic. As noted, it smells nothing like real oud, but for some of us, that is a plus! (Ducks for cover). The western interpretations of oud smell great for the most part, but have absolutely nothing to do with the real stuff.
As far as a similar frag goes, there is a knock off of it by Surrati, which I believe is what Josh is referring to. It is VERY close, but to the discerning nose, the use of white musk is much more prevalent in the dup and it is ever so slightly sweeter. Well done for a knock off, but without making the mistake of expressing my opinion on the duplication business as I have done previously, it suffices to say that I will not patronize that establishment.
Another option is M7 by YSL. I haven't sniffed it in quite some time, but if I recall, it is similar.
Tom Oudh? Or something like that?
