Tom Ford Tobacco Oud (Private Blend, 2013): Boozy Spice, Dense Tobacco & Smoldering Resins

A cult woody-spicy from Tom Ford’s Private Blend, Tobacco Oud frames cured tobacco with a splash of whiskey, warm spices, and a resinous oud/incense base. It’s bold, grown-up, and impeccably dressed—closer to a cigar lounge than a sugar-sweet tobacco. Fragrantica+1

Top: Whiskey. Fragrantica
Heart: Spicy notes, Cinnamon, Coriander. Fragrantica
Base: Tobacco, Agarwood (Oud), Incense, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Benzoin, Vanilla, Cedar. Fragrantica

What It Smells Like

A brief boozy whiskey flash gives way to a dry, spiced-tobacco heart. As it settles, oud and incense add tarry smoke and depth, cushioned by benzoin/vanilla and polished woods. It’s plush and resinous rather than gourmand. Fragrantica

When to Wear
