Agar Gold Stronger Version EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Santal de Mysore is a divisive beast. For some, it's a sublime journey into creamy, spicy sandalwood. For others, it's a full-on curry house assault. Love it or hate it, it certainly makes an impression, and rarely a subtle one.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent. The spiced caraway-and-styrax opening and the deep, creamy sandalwood drydown read thick and warm on skin, and community season votes run fall-dominant with winter close behind. The richness reads heavy in heat, so spring and summer are minor.
Occasions
The strong, spicy-resinous profile and robust sillage make it too imposing for an office. Its warm, sensual sandalwood character and long wear suit evening dates and cool-weather formal occasions, while many reviewers also wear it casually at home for personal enjoyment. Lacks the freshness for sport.
Seasons
The smooth, dry oud-and-sandalwood profile is versatile but leans cooler-weather, easing off only slightly in summer.
Occasions
An elegant, refined woody-oud that suits formal and office settings as readily as evenings.
