Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford's Tobacco Oud is a divisive, discontinued beast. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for those who want to smell like pure authority, not a basic crowd-pleaser.
A budget rendition of Tom Ford's Tobacco Oud, a rich saffron-oud-leather Private Blend fragrance. The spiced saffron opening into an oud-leather heart is a decent approximation, but the base loses the original's dense, resinous tobacco-oud depth and dries down thinner and quieter.
