Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Wood Intense EDP
Tom Ford Oud Wood Intense is a bold, divisive beast that's definitely not for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a cult following, often described as fiercely masculine and unapologetic.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Agar Intense EDP
Agar Intense chases Tom Ford's Oud Wood Intense's darker, more animalic oud direction with cypress, juniper, and castoreum, but the raw edge feels blunted rather than sharpened and the composition wears flatter and fades faster than the original's dense, resinous power.
