Todd Oldham Todd Oldham for women

Wow! Even though this is from the 90's, it can easily compete with spicy powerhouses from previous eras, like Opium (the original), Tigress and Cinnabar. After the initial blast of spices subsides, this becomes a bit more green and very woody, while still maintaining its inherent spiciness. I get no sweetness from this at all, and the floral notes are so faint, I really have to pay attention to notice them. The jasmine is soft and lovely and contributes a faint powdery undertone at the drydown, but it is very easily missed. Overall I would call this a very woody, spicy oriental. I think this can be easily worn by a man. I am a spice lover, but I would not recommend anyone blind buy this.

very similar to Queen by Queen Latifah, which I prefer. I find the combination of spice and jasmine to be jarring in this case.

One of my favorites in the 90's ... amber, woody, just amazing. I wish I could find it now but have not been able to.

Every time I wear this I get tons of compliments. It may be that it just works well with my skin/chemistry, but I am always surprised when a comment comes my way.
It's spicy, sexy and perfect for winter. Awesome sillage. I bought it on sale at TJMax and I would absolutely buy it again. One of my all time favorites.

I read the reviews and decided to try it.

I am so glad to have found it in a mini, because one "slight' spray and I do not want to even try it a second time.

Even a slight spray gives headache .

The best ever!!!!! Would love to have another fragrance close to this!!!

Oh how I loved this ambery devine concoction. I miss you my old friend. Everybody needs to experience this wonderful elixir once. Boy was Oldham ever ahead of his time and I mean in a BIG bodacious way . Kudos to Todd !

I tested my sample, 3 times. Each time, the scent changed some. The first testing the scent was very fruity and very sweet. The second testing the scent became resinous, spicy, and gooey. The woody notes came through. The third testing, the scent was a more gentle feeling, the spicyness was soft, the sweetness not so pronounced. The scent did not last long on my skin, on a hot day. I was waiting so long to test this fellow! I am a bit dissapointed, it's not the extreme being I thought it would be, but likeable and lovely.

i want it!!!!!
it has something incommon with Volupte by Oscar,it smells very violetlly.Lots of violets i smell in both of them and i love them!:)))))

This is among my top ten favorite perfumes ever, a miraculously lovely (and potent!)concoction of gourmand, spicy and woodsy scents, with exceptional sillage and tenacious lasting power.
I have gone through at least 10 big bottles of eau de parfum and 15 smaller bottles, and I know why, despite its fabulousness, it never made it "big": the atomizers never work. They will work for the first few sprays, and then never work again, no matter what you do to them.
I have had to laboriously remove the glued on top piece with acetone and pliers and decant them into other perfume containers in order to wear them, and its worth all the bother for the amazing perfume.
Todd Oldham is definitely not discreet "office perfume", indeed, it isn't discreet at all, but it has elicited a ton of compliments from everyone, from little children to older people. If there was one perfume that I have worn in my life that I would consider my "signature", Todd Oldham would be the one.
It makes me sad that it is so very hard to find now, even among online retailers, but I will keep buying any and all I find.

Todd Oldham starts out strong at first, with a big bang of spicy jasmine with its underpinnings of peach and rose. It does calm down to something smelling like Mitsouko's peach and rose accord, however the rose has a grassy-green quality. Feminine to start, but later gives off very masculine lines with its spicy woody patchouli notes.

Quirky, bold and gender-bending.

This perfume sure does have a lot in common with Angel and Prada. On my skin strangely enough, Todd's perfume is this crazy intense wood scent at first. It smells so 'foresty' if that is even a word. Then some of the gourmand notes kick in. A complex perfume but just so odd.

I think, like Angel in particular, this is a love it or hate it perfume. It's strong, lasts forever, and is one I have received few compliments on but have received several comments regarding the fact that 'someone smells like a Christmas tree in here!". I do like this perfume because it is interesting but this is not one to be worn in close quarters. It's too big of a fragrance for that.

Ahh, Todd Oldham, how I loved thee in the mid-90's! So sorry your lovely gourmand-ness was eclipsed by Angel. Funny how that that heavenly winged creature always manages to steal the show.

Thank goodness I've found a perfume that smells very similar to you and is still available in 2008, though at a more precious price: Prada.
