Tom Ford
Tobacco Oud
2013
“A cold-weather cigar lounge in a bottle — heavy, masculine, never casual.”

The take
What works
- ●Cinnamon-whiskey-pipe-tobacco opening is genuinely cinematic
- ●Sophisticated darkness without being a costume
- ●One of the only fragrances that actually smells like a humidor
Trade-offs
- ●Office bomb — wear this to a meeting and you'll clear the room
- ●Oud takes a back seat; 'oud' in the name is more aspirational than literal
