About
About this formula
Oud Wood is one of the most requested reconstructions in the Tom Ford canon, and our woody formula chases its signature with precision. It opens on cardamom, pink pepper, black pepper and fresh citrus-lavender, settles into a heart of radiant jasmine, powdery violet and violet orris, and dries down over oud, sandalwood, cedarwood, creamy sandalwood and warm musk.
Fidelity comes from getting the ratios right: every percentage in this sheet has been balanced so the accord reads the way the original does, from the first spray through to the base.
With 22 materials and a advanced difficulty rating, it is dosed for a finished concentration near 20%, though you can push it higher for an extrait feel. The palette is built around accessible materials so you can source everything without hunting for obscure specialties.
You receive the complete weighable formula — names, CAS numbers, precise percentages and gram-scale figures — alongside dilution notes, maceration time and compliance pointers.
It is a rewarding study piece for anyone learning how a woody accord of this kind is engineered, and a reliable formula to keep in rotation once you have it dialled in.

Questions
Frequently asked
What skill level does the Oud Wood formula need?+
This formula is rated advanced. It uses 22 materials and comes with step-by-step maceration and dilution guidance, so it suits makers comfortable with weighing materials on a precision scale. Every material is listed with its CAS number so you can source the exact item.
Where do I buy the ingredients?+
All of the materials are stocked by the major hobby-perfumery suppliers in the US, EU, UK and Australia. Each material includes its CAS number to make ordering unambiguous, and our free Ingredients Guide lists trusted suppliers by region. Specialty bases are flagged with supplier notes in the formula.
How much fragrance will this make?+
The formula is given per 100 g of concentrate, with grams-per-100g figures for every material, and our on-screen batch calculator scales it to 10 g, 50 g, 1 kg or any size instantly. Diluted to roughly 20% in perfumer's alcohol, a 100 g concentrate batch makes around 500 g of finished eau de parfum.
Is it legal to make a clone of a designer fragrance?+
Yes, for personal use. Fragrance scents themselves are not protected by copyright, and our formulas are original reconstructions — our own interpretations, not the houses' confidential formulae. Trademarks protect names and logos, which is why we describe formulas as "inspired by" a fragrance and never use brand logos. Read more on our blog about clone-formula legality.
What about IFRA compliance?+
Each formula includes IFRA notes. The percentages describe the concentrate; your skin-level exposure depends on the final dilution. If you ever sell or gift a finished product you should check the current IFRA Standards for restricted materials and confirm the maximum for your product category. For personal use, always patch-test and follow supplier safety data.
Can I get a refund on a formula?+
Because formulas are digital products delivered instantly, we do not offer change-of-mind refunds. We will, however, refund or correct any formula that contains a genuine material error within 7 days of purchase. See our refund policy for details.
