Oud Tabac

Oud Tabac by Amouroud presents a warm, sweet, and spicy tobacco accord with a distinct woody and oud foundation, making it particularly well-suited for winter wear. The opening features a bright blend of saffron, ginger, coriander, and heliotrope, offering a complex, slightly brash start that settles into a rich, gourmand tobacco core. The vanilla and amber base creates a soft, creamy sweetness that balances the spiciness and woodiness. Longevity is strong, with most wearers reporting lasting over eight hours, and sillage is moderate to strong—ideal for night wear. Many note a similarity to Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille, though Oud Tabac is perceived as more complex and slightly less sweet, with a sharper, drier tobacco note extending into the dry down. Some find the fragrance slightly synthetic, with a synthetic bergamot-like sweetness and a vague almond quality not commonly found in tobacco scents. While the presentation is polished and vibrant, some users find it less authentic than natural oud-based perfumes, citing a lack of depth in the oud character. Overall, it’s praised as a cost-effective alternative to high-end gourmands, especially for those drawn to sweet, spicy tobacco but seeking a lower price-point option.
