How it moves
Up top: rosewood, cardamom and pepper. Enjoy them; they will not stay. Underneath, oud, sandalwood and vetiver settle in and take over. Last to go: tonka, vanilla and amber.
What wearers say
17,000 people have rated it, and they land at 4.29 out of 5. That is close to consensus, which almost nothing in this hobby achieves.
- Praised as a smooth, approachable oud softened by cardamom, rosewood, and vanilla; described as refined, creamy, and easy to wear.
- Performance is generally called moderate and intimate, sitting close to skin with respectable longevity but restrained projection.
- Seen as a versatile beginner-friendly oud and office option; critics say it is expensive and understated given its niche reputation.
Who made it
Richard Herpin composed it in 2007, for Tom Ford in United States. The fragrance that introduced the West to oud — Tom Ford's smooth, approachable 'gateway' agarwood.
