Thus, it is no real surprise that Tom Ford is my favorite designer and niche fragrance house of all time. A brand that does everything right, and rarely does anything wrong. In my personal opinion, Tom Ford’s fashion house is Chanel of the 21st century.

The fragrance basically offers nothing new and comes with a high price tag.

Lasts around 6 – 8 hours with moderate projection.

The citrus notes are magnificent at this price point.

Created in 2021 as a unisex aromatic woody fragrance.

A Private Blend fragrance released in Tom Ford’s Signature line which is a great summer fragrance for anyone wanting a safe and well-blended perfume.

I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don’t really need to have New Year’s resolutions.

Since 2018, Tom Ford company has been discontinuing their less popular niche Private Blend fragrances and rebottled them into a more affordable designer line to give a new life to fragrances that weren’t selling enough. Unlike the original Private Blend release from 2014 created by Yann Vasnier, this new fragrance comes with an uncredited perfumer. It is marketed by Estēe Lauder Companies as a part of the new Tom Ford Signature Line rerelease. Either give me natural oud or a better price.Tom Ford Costa Azzurra is an aromatic woody fragrance for men and women launched in 2021. At a price of just under 150 francs for 30 millilitres, I feel ripped off by Mr Ford – or let’s say the Estée Lauder Company, which has owned the brand for many years.

I’m not the one who claims this, but the reviewer in the video below.

Problem number 2? «Oud Wood» by Tom Ford doesn’t contain natural oud. I hadn’t noticed this when I tested it in the perfumery. Three, two, one and gone – never to be smelled again. At least on my skin, the scent dissipates like a shy deer during hunting season. That’s the first problem with this eau de parfum. What a great surprise! However, my initial joy quickly faded and turned into disappointment. I was unpacking a box when I came across the flacon, which I still hadn’t opened. The issue with Tom Ford's «Oud Wood»Ī few weeks ago, I moved into my new home. After this completely unnecessary impulse buy, I placed the fragrance in my drawer and never used it. I went home with 30 millilitres of Tom Ford's «Oud Wood» from his Private Blend Collection. The plan was to have a look around and maybe pick up a sample or two. I couldn’t resist going into my favourite perfumery.
