Oud Wood is Tom Ford's Private Blend take on oud: smoky, warm and smooth rather than animalic or harsh. Cardamom and sandalwood open it, vetiver and sandalwood carry the middle, and amber, tonka bean and vanilla soften the base. It is unisex and leans evening and cool weather, and it is one of the more approachable ouds for people new to the note. The travel spray is a small refillable-size format for trying it or carrying it, not a substitute for a full bottle. Reviewers call it elegant and long-lasting; some find it softer and less oudy than they expected, and a few question how long a small spray lasts.
