The review
Strong contender. That is where Oud Wood lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Oud Wood.
The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oud Wood's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $25 it costs 92% less than Oud Wood.
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 The Essence Vault 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
What it is chasing: rosewood, cardamom and pepper up top, oud, sandalwood and vetiver in the middle, tonka, vanilla and amber underneath — the shape of Tom Ford Oud Wood.
Top
- rosewood
- cardamom
- pepper
Heart
- oud
- sandalwood
- vetiver
Base
- tonka
- vanilla
- amber
For your first oud, and your last. Rosewood and cardamom soften smoky agarwood and vanilla — refined, creamy, effortlessly upscale.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
