Agar Gold Stronger Version EDP
Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Black Oud EDP
This is a seriously divisive oud, splitting the room between those who sing its praises for masterful blending and bold projection, and others who think it's just 'weak AF'. Either way, it's unmistakably Al Haramain: don't expect quiet sophistication.

Our Verdict - Agar Gold Stronger Version EDP
Agar Gold Stronger Version targets Tom Ford Oud Wood, and this boosted release is one of Perfume Parlour's closer woody matches - smooth oud, cardamom and creamy sandalwood. It reads slightly flatter and sweeter than the polished original, but the 'Stronger' tuning lifts its projection and longevity above the house norm.

Seasons
Best For:

Winter
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Best For:
Date
Formal
Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature, Black Oud is a bit too much for the office. It excels in formal and date settings where its bold, woody oud character can shine, but it's far too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
