About Tobacco Oud
Tobacco Oud is a grounded, fragrance from Tom Ford that leads with the crisp, open-air freshness of whiskey. The heart reveals the rich, resinous character of spicy notes, anchoring the woody signature of the composition. The dry-down settles into a smooth, enduring base of tobacco — built for substance that lasts.
On skin, Tobacco Oud typically delivers excellent longevity (8+ hours) with strong sillage that projects across a room. The price point — $350 at retail — reflects Tom Ford's positioning, packaging, and distribution overhead more than the cost of the formulation itself.
How to wear it
My Fire fits cooler weather, casual-smart settings, and evening wear naturally. The woody base gives it staying power without being heavy.For best longevity, apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) on moisturised skin.
How we matched it
To build My Fire, we reverse-engineered Tobacco Oud: cataloguing the woody architecture, isolating the whiskey top accord, the spicy notes heart, the tobacco base. Then we composed our own version using the same ingredient grade most luxury houses work with — just without the layered markups that come after the bottle leaves the perfumer's bench.
Where it lands on skin: the same family character, comparable longevity (8+ hours), comparable sillage. Where it might diverge: a few accord choices in the top 30 minutes — fragrance is partly skin chemistry, and no two skins read a scent identically. That's true for Tobacco Oud too.
Standard across our line: Eau de Parfum concentration, vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free. We're a perfumery, not a brand-marketing operation. The bottle costs what the juice costs.

What it costs per spray

Tobacco Oud
$0.58
per spray · ~600 sprays/bottle
Fragrenza
My Fire
$0.11
per spray · ~600 sprays/bottle
A 60ml bottle averages around 600 sprays at 0.1ml apiece. That puts My Fire at roughly $0.11 per spray and Tobacco Oud at retail around $0.58 per spray. The atomiser, the volume, the application — identical. The price-per-use is where the brand premium becomes visible.
Multiply that out across a year — three wears a week, two sprays each, around 312 actuations — and you're looking at roughly $36.39 of My Fire versus roughly $182.00 of Tobacco Oud at retail. About $145.61 a year saved without changing how often you wear it, how you apply it, or what it smells like on you.
