The Essence Vault Oud Wood - 341 is an Eau de Parfum. Oud Wood - 341 opens with Cardamom, settles into a heart of Vetiver and Oud, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. The Essence Vault's Oud Wood - 341 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Inspired by Tom Ford Oud Wood, No. 341 borrows the same oud-cardamom-sandalwood-vetiver skeleton but reads noticeably thinner and simpler, missing the rare-wood richness and hours-long trail that made the original a signature scent for so many.

About

No. 341 opens on a warm, spiced note of cardamom laid over an agarwood accord, capturing the general shape of Tom Ford's famous opening reasonably well for the first few minutes. The heart brings together oud and vetiver, which is the right idea, but the blend feels comparatively two-dimensional next to the original's velvety, layered rare-woods accord. Sandalwood carries the base, offering a creamy, smooth finish, though it lacks the density and lingering warmth of the real thing. Where Tom Ford Oud Wood is prized for a rich sillage that can last 8+ hours and evolves subtly over time, this version is pleasant but fades to a soft skin scent well before the working day is done. As an inexpensive way to sample the oud-and-spice concept that made the original so iconic, it is a reasonable starting point - just don't expect the same longevity or complexity.
