Arabian Hustler is a strong, masculine fragrance that closely mimics the rich, opulent profile of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud. It opens with a bold, boozy oud and tobacco blend, capturing the iconic first impression of the original—particularly its warm, smoky, whiskey-tinged top note. The scent evolves into a smoother, slightly sweeter tobacco patchouli composition, with cedar and sandalwood supporting the base. It's not a perfect clone, as some users report it loses intensity after the first few hours, becoming a soft skin scent with moderate sillage. The longevity is moderate, lasting up to six hours on most skin types, though it doesn’t match the exceptional projection and endurance of the original Tom Ford version. Still, it holds its own as a high-quality, affordable alternative for those seeking a tobacco-forward fragrance with a classic, warm, leathered character.
