Clean Shaven Oud Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007. Oud Wood opens with Rosewood, Sichuan Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Oud, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Clean Shaven's Oud Wood carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Clean Shaven's Oud Wood goes after Tom Ford's smooth, creamy oud-sandalwood signature and gets the warm woody direction right, but lacks the refined, resinous depth that made the original a modern niche benchmark.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A warm, resinous woody-oud base is best suited to autumn and winter, where its depth won't feel heavy or out of place.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Refined enough for formal evenings and dates, though its intensity makes it a less natural fit for a busy daytime office or sport setting.

About

Tom Ford Oud Wood, released in 2007 as part of the Private Blend line and marketed unisex, helped bring oud into the mainstream Western market with a smooth, creamy take on the wood - cardamom and rosewood open things up, before a refined oud-sandalwood heart settles into a warm vanilla-tonka-amber base. Clean Shaven's version reaches for that same warm, woody-spicy territory and the cardamom-oud pairing is recognisable early on. Where it falls short is in texture: the real Oud Wood is prized for how smooth and creamy its oud accord is compared with sharper, more medicinal ouds, and this dupe's version is simpler and a little rougher round the edges, without the same sandalwood-vanilla polish underneath. It also loses steam faster - where the original can hold on skin for five to seven hours, expect closer to three here. Still, for anyone curious about the Oud Wood style without committing to Tom Ford pricing, it is a reasonable way to test whether creamy oud fragrances suit you, best worn on cooler days or evenings when its warmth will not feel out of place.
