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.
Golden Agar is Perfume Parlour's standard take on Tom Ford Oud Wood - the same smooth oud, cardamom-spice and sandalwood blueprint. It captures the elegant woody character but renders flatter and sweeter, with the oud thinner and softer-projecting than the refined original.

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
A smooth dry-woody oud that works across seasons but leans cooler-weather, easing off in summer heat.
Occasions
Versatile enough for office and casual wear while still polished enough for formal evenings.
