Description

I love Tobacco Oud by Tom Ford. If you want to know why, feel free to read my comment. Oud Wood Intense holds a special part in my life. The original was too simple for me. But the Intense variant has balls and I like that. Two reasons for exploring - a) Tastes/preferences change b) I feel there are a lot more you could try.

The opening of this fragrance, definitely goes hard with the tobacco and oud note. It has a dark and smokey aroma, with a slight spice, which I take is from the coriander. It’s not an intense smell, in my opinion, but there is just a large abundance of those ingredients. Ultimately, I get a smooth ambery tobacco, with a mix of sweet/smokey and a woodsy base. It’s a warm and very smooth aroma, with a definite masculine edge.There is a dirty and outdoorsy undertone, throughout the whole wear. I guess, I should just call it earthy, but it is quite noticeable up top before Tobacco Oud Intense transitions to its next stage. Honestly just give Chanel Egoiste a try - it is very versatile, and it is definitely rich, sexy (maybe not provocative) and smells better than 98% of the perfumes out there. It can be dressed up or down, though isn't too casual. It is appropriate for night outs in a wide variety of situations and weather/climate. You just need to apply it smartly (less or more) depending on how you want to use it. Try it to see if you'd like it. People either love it from the get go, never like it, or grow to love it (I'm in this group), but those who love it hardly ever grow bored of it. In the later course, the fragrance goes from a balsamic composition to an elegant and vanilla sweetness. This is where the base note begins.

Then again, the oud isn’t completely dominant here. Nonetheless, it is no slouch. On clothing, it does indeed last longer, than 9 hours. Don't force yourself to like something just because it has good sillage/duration or because it is well reviewed. After the intense opening, the fragrance takes a balsamic direction. You can smell various herbs, spices and a lot of hot, scratchy and slightly sweet tobacco.Amber, vanilla and some of the heart notes described above bring the whole thing to a close A really beautiful fragrance, with an extremely elaborate scent gradient. Tobacco Oud Intense (TOI as of now) follows a similar path, staying truer to the origin DNA. What strikes you immediately is the stronger, more austere and animalic oud note. This was not at all pronounced in the original. This one smells a bit boozy due to the oud and quite warm as a result. TOI has replaced this boozy note in the opening with pure animalic. So the first 2 minutes in the opening are certainly a slap in the face for untrained noses. Mr.Ed has lit the cigar. There are embers glowing in the horse stable. The wisps of smoke fight their way through the manure piles, Mr. Ed takes another drag and then trots out of the stable. The Tobacco Oud Intense (from now on abbreviated as TOI) starts with a sharp, violent and light-fruity raspberry in the prelude. This is probably the striking difference to the normal Tobacco Oud.

Seasonally, it’s strictly for the cooler months of the year. This would be a mess in the heat of the summer. It’s a unisex scent, but it leans much more masculine, than other offerings from this brand.It feels like something that should be worn at least in a semi-formal situation or business attire. Tobacco Oud Intense isn’t a Tom Ford fragrancefor casual wear. Nor is it going to be something for the bar/nightlife scene. The longevity seems to fall within the 7-9 hour range, again, not crazy but still very good. My skin doesn’t ‘eat up’ perfume, so, this probably about what one should expect. It was kind of surprising, as I would have thought that an intense Oud scent, would have gone on for ages.

Durability is at a top level. Tom Ford typical. 8-10 hours are no problem. The first 3 hours with fierce radiance.

I haven't tried several of those, however, I feel you are not sure about what you are looking for. My suggestion would be to sample more rather than splurge on a big bottle of something. Especially if you like exploring fragrances (warning - it can be a rabbit hole). Anyone who has tested Tom's Intense range has certainly noticed that the fragrances are not only different in terms of fragrance penetration, but are old-inspired new creations.
