“Super beautiful scent but alas the performance is so weak it's basically a skin scent when applied.I wish to try the old pre reformulation out wood batches to see how strong this stuff was.But honestly speaking this stuff is redundant because kredo by nishane exists.Very similar but kredo is darker/spicier in the opening and the drydown is the similar/beautiful scent oud wood is/was.”
“This smells amazing, but the performance is terrible! What happened to Tom Ford Oud Wood? It used to have great sillage and longevity, but after the reformulation, it’s become awful. Even worse, the price keeps going up, it’s way too expensive for the performance. I’m really disappointed in TF Oud Wood.”
“the opening on this one is a 10/10, i adore it, after legit 2 minutes the smell completely dissapears, whither you spray this on yourself or on your paper, you need a really good nose just to get what this smells like on the dry down.obviously 350$ for a 50ml with this pathetic performance is a scam. luckily ive found an insane dupe of this with really good quality.”

Lattafa's version leans slightly heavier on synthetic oud and woody undertones, resulting in a more linear projection compared to Tom Ford's complex evolution. The top notes are less refined with slightly sharper citrus, and the overall composition lacks some of the creamy vanilla depth and refined nuance found in the original.

The clone features a slightly sweeter, more amber-forward opening compared to the original's cleaner oud introduction, and the dry-down leans more prominently toward vanilla and musk rather than the subtle mineral undertones of Tom Ford's version. Afnan's projection is more aggressive in the initial hours, whereas Oud Wood develops more gradually with refined subtlety.

The clone delivers similar base notes but with reduced projection and a less crisp top accord; Oud Wood's signature peppery opening is softened in Lamasat Oud, and the mid-stage transition feels less seamless.
