Oud Wood Parfum vs Noir Extreme

The r/fragrance community appreciates Oud Wood's scent profile but is divided on value, with widespread frustration over poor performance in the EDP and perceived bait-and-switch marketing where Tom Ford released a double-priced Parfum version to fix reformulation issues. Many view the brand as overpriced relative to quality and recommend alternative oud fragrances or budget brands as better value, though some collectors remain loyal to specific Tom Ford offerings.

Tom Ford Noir Extreme receives mixed community feedback. While praised for its luxurious, sophisticated scent profile and excellent longevity on compatible skin types, significant performance variation across individuals and a premium price point make it a fragrance requiring testing before purchase. Community consensus suggests it excels as a fall/winter scent for special occasions rather than casual daily wear.
