Stercus vs Oud Wood

The community has mixed feelings about Stercus, appreciating it as a unique niche offering from a respected perfumer but expressing concerns about possible recent reformulations that may have compromised its performance and original character. Users acknowledge its controversial nature while recognizing its appeal to adventurous fragrance collectors.

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.
