New York Oud vs Oud Wood

New York Oud by Bond No. 9 appears to be a solid, wearable fragrance that collectors include in their rotation, though it doesn't generate particularly strong enthusiasm or criticism. The limited community discussion suggests it's a reliable but not exceptional choice within the oud fragrance category.

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.
