Took a little trip to a large shopping mall in Jo'burg this week, where they have the full range of Tom Ford fragrances. I sprayed some Oud Wood on the left wrist, and Tuscan leather on the right
so now, a couple of questions for you fine gents: is the scent of Oud Wood a reasonable approximation of actual oud? I know the "right" answer here is that there countless different varieties of oud, and that each one is unique. However, I imagine that as with wine, whisky, tobacco, etc, there might be some kind of general baseline where you could say "yes, that smells like oud" without putting too fine a point on it? Or am I out of my depth on this one?
In any case, I really enjoyed both of them for the whole hour or so that they lasted. I don't think that I could justify paying this kind of price for frags with such short staying power, but I will definitely be trying them again.
