What does Heirloom Oak smell like?

Oak wood and oud build the woody frame, while amber and vanilla sweeten it, and tonka bean and malt add a soft, dry sweetness. Immortelle absolute deepens the earthy, resinous side. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one dense, oriental whole from start to finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters place it in leisure, evening and night-out wear, and office use comes last. Tom Ford Amber Absolute and Tom Ford Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
