Tom Ford Tobacco Oud
$305.95
Resident genius of modern luxury fashion Tom Ford swung for the fences (per usual) with his 2013 release of Tobacco Oud Wood. This is a unisex fragrance for all who find its aroma relatable and desirable enough to splash it on regularly (which is nearly anyone who samples it). The note pyramid is a fantastic collection of deftly-grouped notes that intrigue and leave astounded, satisfied, and a bit proud. At the top, whiskey is the only note to be found. The heart notes are cinnamon, spicy notes, cinnamon, and coriander. The base is where Ford really brings things home and keeps it simply elegant and bold, bringing together classic base notes that include the likes of tobacco, agerwood, sandalwood, patchouli, incense, benzoin, vanilla, and cedar. The agerwood, or oud is the standout here, known for its sky-high price, and the fact that it cannot be just made in a factory. This is a warm, complex, thoughtful, versatile, elegant, and exclusive fragrance for any gender, anywhere, anytime.
