The review

On paper, Wood Substance is a strong bet if you want Oud Minérale for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oud Minérale's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $83 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Oud Minérale — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on sea notes, seaweed and saffron, turns to oud, agarwood and ambergris, and settles into amber, woody notes and musk. That is the brief Wood Substance is working from.

Top

  • sea notes
  • seaweed
  • saffron

Heart

  • oud
  • agarwood
  • ambergris

Base

  • amber
  • woody notes
  • musk
Smoky oud meets a briny sea breeze; an unexpected, fresh-yet-woody take on agarwood.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 3 twins of Tom Ford Oud Minérale we can price, Wood Substance is the cheapest per 100ml.

  1. 01 Perfume Parlour Wood Substance $83/100ml
  2. 02 Perfume Parlour Oud Marine 2256 $122/100ml
  3. 03 Oil Perfumery Oud Minérale $133/100ml
