Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's 30 ml Express format of the Agar Gold dupe of Tom Ford Oud Wood (2007). The same Richard Herpin pyramid - cardamom, sandalwood, oud, vanilla - in PP's small-format pour variant for travel and trial. Honest dupe-fidelity at a sample-able size.
This Floraïku creation is a luxurious conundrum. Some hail it as a stunning, minimalist dream with surprising longevity; others dismiss it as an overpriced, underperforming 'any oud'. Expect a refined, clean oud experience if you're willing to overlook the divisive price tag.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Identical season profile to Agar Gold - sandalwood-oud-vanilla-amber sits firmly in autumn and winter, with spring viable at low dosage. Less natural in summer.
Occasions
Soft-oud woody-spicy in 30ml travel format fits formal evening, date, and dinner wear naturally; office viable at low dosage. Too distinctive for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its sophisticated, clean oud and amber profile, combined with generally moderate projection, makes it ideal for formal settings and the office. While some find its performance strong, the consensus on its subtle nature also lends itself well to intimate dates.
