Oud Wood, what a fragrance! Yes, what kind of fragrance? It just leaves me confused. Does anyone know those ready-made spice packets for roast chicken that you can buy in the supermarket? That's exactly what Oud Wood smells like. like a spice blend consisting of:
Iodized table salt, caraway, flavour enhancer: monosodium glutamate, paprika, garlic, pepper, marjoram, rosemary.
Sounds strange, but it smells exactly the same to me. As a child, I liked to eat the spice just like that. But I don't want to smell like it, so I have to put Tom Ford's Oud Wood back in the spice cabinet.
I am all the more surprised that the fragrance is unisex, because although I see it as far removed from men, I would still consider it to be masculine. It's more than 100% characteristic, it leaves an impression, I'm sure of that. When I sniff closer to my skin I even recognize mothballs that I used years ago, yes that smelled pretty similar. The only scent I can recognize is the pepper. Vanilla is supposed to be in Oud Wood? I wouldn't even have dreamed that.
Leaving the spice aside for a moment...it all smells quite musty, salty, spicy and creaky-woody to me. Interesting that the fragrance scores so well with so many people...I would never dare leave the house with it. It even smells a bit like furniture polish. I like it when fragrances don't smell like perfume but authentically imitate something from normal life, but Oud Wood is a bit too blatant for me.
A big thank you to Damenbart for the sample :)
