Tom Ford Oud Wood is genuinely well-regarded by the community as a beautiful, unique woody fragrance that deserves its reputation despite hype concerns. However, poor skin longevity (especially post-reformulation) is a consistent frustration for the price point, leading many to recommend cheaper alternatives like Nishane Kredo or Thameen Carved Oud for better performance.
