How to sample Oud Wood first

Tom Ford (Private Blend)

The verdict: Sample it first. The gentlest door into oud. Smooth, office-safe for an oud, and much better value per ml in the big bottle once you know it's yours.

Suits: Oud beginners who want smooth and polished: rosewood, cardamom and pepper, oud, sandalwood and vetiver, tonka, vanilla and amber.

Smartest way to sample: $6.99 for 1 ml at Scentsplit
