Tom Ford Tobacco Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Olivier Gillotin. Tobacco Oud opens with Whisky, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Cinnamon, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Oud, and Patchouli. Tom Ford's Tobacco Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

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 cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, combined with its intensely rich and mature profile, make it unsuitable for daily office wear or casual outings. However, it's a perfect choice for date nights or formal events where making a powerful, lasting impression is key, as many reviewers highlight its 'mafia boss' or 'leader' vibe.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This is a rich, unashamedly masculine experience, opening with a bold hit of boozy whisky that quickly blends into a deeply complex heart of warm spices like cinnamon and coriander. The real star, tobacco, emerges, dry and smoky, underpinned by a dark, woody oud. It evokes the sophisticated grime of a hidden speakeasy or a high-stakes poker game.
