Which Should You Buy?
A budget Perfume Parlour interpretation of Tom Ford Oud Wood (2007) by Richard Herpin - the cardamom-sandalwood-oud composition that opened Tom Ford's Private Blend niche line and became one of the most-imitated soft-oud references in modern niche. PP markets this as the 'Stronger Version'; honest dupe-fidelity for evening and cold-weather wear.
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.
