Dark Aoud

I picked up a Grey market Oud Wood last summer and really loved it. My only gripe was that it disappeared quite quickly and was a skin scent in a few hours. Granted this could be a counterfeit product with batch codes and all but it seems unlikely ...who knows. The point is that it's very convincing as are all the other TF I picked up. ...but I digress. I got this clone because I liked my weak Tom Ford so much. This being said I can say that although this gets similar in the dry down there's a distinct note missing that I get in TF. It's a patchouli like note? A different wood possibly? I'm not sure but they are different and I miss that important note in this clone. This has a bleachy note and a soapy note. TF has that bleachy note but not the soapy. On the drydown it smells similar to Oud Wood. I may mix them together and get best of both worlds . This smells clean, a little plasticy. woody ...it's ok. It does a good job. It's similar but far from a clone. I can live with that. I will mix my crappy TF and this soso clone and hope for glory....Not disappointed for 22$ CAD

So far it is not what I expected I get this smell similar to smelling a spa or a diffuser I will keep in mind I paid 20 dollars for this and I have not let it macerate properly I’ll come back in the middle of fall to review when I decide to wear again but so far it’s not what it says to be I would say 40% like our wood however I will not give up I love MA and all the middles eastern clone houses because they have come through and delivered perfectly many time so I pray that the solution will be macerating specially since I got Toscano Leather and that is almost identical to TF I love it more because of how cheap and amazing it is.

I shot this on this morning about 6 months after wearing and reviewing it. It has matured into something that shoots on similar to TF I have. It's still not the same but I like it a whole lot more now. It's warmer than my TF. Still has the bleachy note I like but has a slight creaminess to it. Anyway it smells clean and positive to wear this morning. It's Monday after all. It smells well dressed and proper like TF and that's the trick for me. Changed this to a Love vote.

Dark Aoud rename for Woody Oud, change of bottle too. But this 30ml I have is old bottle design and travel size. Already have Woody Oud and a 100ml og and Versace noir. Still a very good Alternative to use with more sprays since it's very inexpensive. You'll like it as long as you like this dna.

This is a great dupe of TFOW. When I first sprayed it I was a little disappointed. But after macerating for a couple months it now smells much closer to TFOW and I really enjoy it. Dark Oud is definitely darker and more leathery than TFOW so the name fits well.
