More Than Words vs Oud Wood

More Than Words is a polarizing Xerjoff fragrance that impresses some with its sparkling opening and performance, but disappoints others who find its bold oud note off-putting. The community strongly advises sampling before purchasing due to its potent projection and divisive character.

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.
