    You are the Gordon Ramsay of perfumery. You blend masterpieces and have a fantastic palate! You also don’t bullshit the viewers with marketing and crappy advertising. You tell us your opinion, what you smell, straight forward, no exceptions. That you for being a rare breed. Keep up the great work!!

    How dark and heavy this fragrance is is one of the reasons I like it. It reminds me of something Beaufort London would do. Something not very approachable to the masses but if you enjoy it, it will be a love...much like what you said at the end of the video.

    This stuff is potent. IT SMELLS BAD INTITIALLY. I sprayed my self at Macy's with this and thought it smelled awful Initially. Then as the day progressed the scent evolved to a beautiful wood, musk, and somewhat sweat spicey smell. The shocking part was that the scent remind on my skin for 48 hours despite showering and scrubbing my body. My clothes smelled like it even after I washed them. My jacket was out in the closet and it had the scent for nearly 4 months afterward

    Hey Aaron, thanks for the cool courageous review on a very challenging fragrance.
    I own a full bottle of oud wood intense,well actually I had 2 bottle till not so long ago because I had strong connection with the way it smelled I figured why not have a backup bottle.
    After applying it for a few times I got a few identical feedbacks from 3 different people saying it smells like a car garage and greasy metal parts.
    I was Really surprised by they're description because that was the first thing that came into my mind when I first sprayed it and while I'm dealing with fragrances reviews the people who
    Said that have nothing to do with fragrances.
    My question is did you spot anything that fits this interpretation and if you did, where do you think it's coming from ?
    Thanks...

    @lukeweeks3470 2 года назад +5

    I actually really like this one! It's strong without a doubt and the castoreum and angelica root in the opening (it's a base note but it persists throughout the life of the fragrance and is quite overpowering in the initial spray) is really potent. After I let this dry down a bit, it becomes an incredible scent.
    As it's a Tom Ford "Intense" fragrance it's of course even more overpriced than the normal private blend scents so I'm never buying this one. Apparently it might be discontinued as I can't see it on TF's website.

    • @richardadesmond
      @richardadesmond 2 года назад
