About This Fragrance

Inspired by Oud Wood – 341 is a smooth, refined woody oriental from The Essence Vault, built around spiced oud, tonka bean warmth, and a soft vanilla base that mirrors the understated luxury of Tom Ford Oud Wood. Product Overview Inspired by Oud Wood – 341 by The Essence Vault delivers a lighter and more accessible take on one of Tom Ford's most enduring fragrances. It captures the same polished woody spice DNA without the designer price, making it a strong daily option for anyone who appreciates the quiet confidence of the original. Where many oud fragrances lean into heaviness and projection, this one prioritises refinement and wearability, making it suitable across a broader range of settings than a typical oud oriental. Scent Profile The opening combines oud, cardamom, and pepper in a warm and slightly exotic introduction that signals the fragrance's woody oriental direction from the first spray. The cardamom provides a clean spiced brightness that keeps the oud from feeling heavy in the early wear, while the pepper adds a gentle sharpness that gives the opening some definition. The heart brings in amber and tonka bean, adding smooth, rounded warmth that bridges the spiced opening and the soft base. The base returns to oud alongside vanilla, creating a quietly sweet and polished dry down that lingers on the skin without demanding attention. Technical Structure and Development The composition flows from spiced woody opening to smooth resinous warmth in a gradual and well blended progression. The pepper and cardamom fade naturally rather than drop sharply, allowing the tonka and vanilla in the base to emerge over the first hour. The overall effect is a fragrance that feels consistent and unified rather than dramatically evolving, which suits its positioning as a refined daily wear option. Performance Longevity runs to around 5 to 7 hours on skin, with stronger performance on fabric and clothing. Projection is soft to moderate throughout, giving the fragrance a close and refined character rather than aggressive sillage. This makes it well suited to professional and indoor environments where restraint is appropriate. Wear Scenarios - Cooler weather daily wear - Office and professional environments where something polished and understated is appropriate - Evening occasions across autumn and winter - Casual and formal settings where a smooth woody oriental fits without demanding attention Scent Family Positioning Woody spicy oriental. Shares its lane with other smooth oud based masculines and sits well alongside fragrances that prioritise refinement over power. The style lane positions it as a mature and considered choice rather than a statement fragrance.
