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.
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Tom Ford's Oud Wood (2007) - the Private Blend rosewood-oud-sandalwood composition that introduced gateway oud to Western luxury perfumery, here translated into a rosewood-cardamom opening over oud-sandalwood and a tonka-vanilla close. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and formal wear at a fraction of the niche price.

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
Oud-sandalwood-tonka backbone carries strongest in autumn and winter; spring and summer work in cooler settings. Not a hot-weather signature.
Occasions
Polished oud-wood reads sophisticated for evening, date and formal; office works for those who like statement signatures. Too warm-heavy for sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Oud, Warm Spicy accords and Cardamom, Oud notes
