Tom Ford Oud Fleur Review: A Bold Rose-Oud Masterpiece

Yann Vasnier's 2013 unisex fragrance blends smoky oud with lush rose for a modern classic.

By Vivir · · Updated

Tom Ford’s Private Blend collection has long been a playground for olfactory risk-takers, and Oud Fleur (2013) stands as one of its most compelling creations. Crafted by perfumer Yann Vasnier, this unisex fragrance marries the smoky, animalic depth of agarwood with the lush, velvety sweetness of rose. It’s a scent that doesn’t whisper—it commands attention.

From the first spray, Oud Fleur announces itself with a powerful duality: the medicinal, almost leathery oud is tempered by a dewy, jammy rose that feels both classic and contemporary. As it develops, resins and patchouli add a balsamic warmth, while sandalwood provides a creamy, woody base. The result is a fragrance that evolves over hours, revealing new facets with each wear.

With a price tag ranging from $250 to $425 for a 100ml bottle, Oud Fleur is an investment. But for those who appreciate bold, long-lasting scents with a touch of luxury, it delivers on every front. In this review, we’ll break down the notes, performance, seasonality, and value to help you decide if this is the right oud-rose for your collection.
