Tobacco Oud

Tobacco Oud by Tom Ford is an unisex eau de parfum from 2013 in the luxury price tier. It opens with tobacco, cinnamon and coriander, moves into oud, sandalwood and incense and dries down to vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.

Heart

Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.

Dry-down

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
